WIP Wednesday

I got a bit of time in on the quilt for the pack and play yesterday. It is really more of a comforter than a quilt as it is not pieced. I picked a simple panto to quilt it.

I tried out one of the new threads from the Superior try me special. It is variegated green/yellow/blue and it is called Rainbows. It took a bit of fiddling to get the tension set and I had a bit of breakage in the beginning. I had to slow down a bit but then it stitched up beautifully.

I hope to get the binding ready today and also to make some progress on the pad for the bottom of the pack and play. I wanted to make a pad/cover that I could take off easily to wash. I quilted a piece of flannel for that too and then trimmed it just a bit too small. Ugh! I think I can salvage it, I just have to get creative.

I need more coffee first.

    Katy,
    Love the panto that you used! It’s so fun and the thread just enhances that. The animal quilt is so cute too and is perfect for the bottom of a pack and play. As for the one you made a tiny bit too small, maybe you could double bind it to make up for the shortage? I know what you mean about the more coffee thing. I can’t get going until I have had a certain amount (I drink mine from an Army mug).

  5. Wow – Those quilting stitches are lovely; the pattern is simple, but you’re so consistent, it stitched up really nicely. I think that will be a fun quilt!

    Oh, that juvenile print is just adorable!! And I love the “Modern Twist” quilt design. It looks like the cursive L I use in my name. šŸ™‚
