Progress on Emily's quilt...

Someone has been bugging me about finishing up her quilt.

Today after I finished working we measured, cut the batting, made the backing and laid it all out after pressing it on my new ironing board. It works great! The quilt is pinned. She measured it at 62x69.

Tomorrow after bowling, she will try and quilt it. She wanted to make shapes but I told her no - walking foot straight lines to start. I know I get frustrated with free motion especially when the machine is way over do for a spa treatment. We will see how she does.

We might have had a little help from Peanut.. he was laying right next to the throat of the machine as I pieced the backing. No paws were hurt. Then.. he kept trying to eat the safety pins. Silly boy.
