| I was able to get outside and take some pictures even though it was a bit overcast and starting to get dark. Humphrey insisted that he should get in on this action. I think he adds something to the quilt, don't you? |
Another finish in February, makes up for no finishes in January. I made this quilt to "practice/test" my new
Baby Lock Tiara machine - I think Betty-Lou (I name all of my machines) passed.

| The quilt turned out very soft and cuddly |

| I didn't use any batting, just simple brown fleece for the backing. I think the quilting really shows up well with this combination. I really like how the red binding sets off the whole quilt, even the back. |
There were a few thread "burps" on the back, it really helps when you
learn to thread your machine correctly. The quilt dimensions are 59"wide X 71"long, a generous throw. The
Red Window quilt is my own design.
