Ahhh, Secret Jungle Quilt Quilted

I finished quilting the Secret Jungle quilt this week. It was pretty intense work because I outlined just about 100% of each creature, leaf, etc. in the panels.

I used the BSR foot to the Bernina 830 and at first I was determined to stay on all the lines. It didn't take long to figure out I wasn't experienced enough to do that, and that I should listen to Judy Hall at Texas Quiltworks and not look that close. Once I got that down I was able to move a little freer and get the job done.

Since it is BFF's quilt she wants to do the binding. She is welcome to it, but I suspect she will want me to sew the one side down for her.

Next thing I want to do is finish BFF's cat quilt and then I can start putting the quilt together that I am making Sis.

I'm also still hand quilting the main part of the turtle quilt for my youngest, which is easier to do now that it is cooler in the evenings.

It looks fantastic! I have been checking periodically waiting for an update on this quilt. I love it. You did a great job!

It looks really awesome in person - pictures don't do justice to Cheryl's work.

Yes, you are correct ---- was hoping that you would sew the one side on....

Can't wait to see you again!
Have fun with Hu this week end!!

XOXO

Get yourself over here and cut the binding strips and you can not only look at it but you can cover yourself up in it, and it will be out of my house.

I have not been a good quilter. I still haven't finished the cat quilt. I had some really good books on my K2.

hey if Jungle Quilt's designated owner doesn't get busy binding off the edges, it may get kidnapped one of these Survivor nights ;)

Oh no you don't! I know where the material is for YOUR quilt and it would go missing too!!

I'm going over there this coming week end so hold your horses!!

I'm ready for it to come home too!!!

yeah, but you'd have to do a lot of work to turn the fabric for my quilt into a quilt... and yours is mostly done... best get busy with those binding strips... else, I'll have to read up on how to do it... hehehehehehe
