Farm Girl Vintage Sampler is quilted!

I finished machine quilting Kennedy's quilt!
She doesn't know it's her quilt, I'm giving it to her for her 10th birthday, this month :)


I followed the gingham fabric, quilting along the gingham, every 3 stripes, back and forth, creating a crosshatch effect.



You can see on the mint green minky back :)
See the crosshatch design?
I outlined the starts in each corner.  


I followed Lori Kennedy's "simple flower" motif and free motion quilted the design in the center of each block.
I used the wavy stitch on my Bernina, to outline all the blocks.


I did a free motion reverse loop, on the second border, outside of the flowers.


One problem with machine quilting with my sewing machine, is that I can't get the fabric taut like you would be able to on a quilt frame or long arm machine.


I'm going to choose one of these 3 fabrics for the binding.
Can you help me choose which one to use?
Just tell me in the comment box below :)


I like this Sew Cherry yellow!


I think the pink is different, because it contrasts with the red, ever so slightly.


The blue would be pretty too :)


Thanks in advance, for helping me.
I'll post photos of the finished quilt next week!

  3. Hi Cynthia
    I love all your embroidery, quilting and sewing, you are so talented, I can just about sew a button back on, and even the…! But it is something on Pintrest which you have pinned I’d like to ask you about. It’s in your LDS section – Finding Joy in every season, which I think includes the Parable of the Pear Tree.
    I’ve tried to access the blog but as I’m not invited I cannot.
    Just wondered if there is anything you could send me about this activity, as I’m looking for ideas for a RS activity I’d like to do in October, here in the UK and I love the Parable of the Pear Tree.

    My fingers are crossed that you may be able to help.
    Thanks in advance.
