Final Stretch

Finally, the completion of the blue and white (B&W) quilt is getting near. All walking foot stitching is done. Today, I am attaching the binding.

The perfect blue fabric to complement the scappy look was found at a brick and mortar store where I take the sewing machine for its annual maintanence. Well, actually this year it was biannual (wink).  

In the past couple of weeks there was an interruption in finishing the B&W due to the need (desire) to make a toddler quilt. 

No piecing was required.  It is a long-ago retired I Spy panel in other words a 'cheater.'  I found the most perfect backing fabric which can double as I Spy as well. 

Although it will be gifted to a newborn, the toddler quilt will work as a baby gift when I meet the new little guy.  More walking foot practice was accomplished as all shapes were outlined quilted. 

Two different color threads were used as red worked well on the front and white on the back. Same brand and weight of thread used which was Gutterman 30 weight all cotton.

In order to join along with talented hand stitchers at Kathy's Quilts, I'll be hand sewing the binding down on the back of quilt.

Have a good day!

P.S. Technical glitch:  I have no idea how the different size fonts and misaligned text happened. It's best to get this posted and back to sewing!
