Quilt Basting

I spent the morning pinning two quilts ready for quilting.  

The local gallery run by the regional arts group is an ideal place to put two tables together and pin quilts and today it was a hive of activity.  Watercolour painting, spinning, sewing happy pants and lots of chatter.  The quilt above is another scrap quilt which has been foundation pieced.

I also had time to pin another baby/cot quilt.  I like to have a couple quilted and on hand as they make fantastic baby shower presents.  This 'owl themed' quilt is made using an ABC panel and I tried out a new setting.  I think it will come up looking good when quilted.

One of the ladies had brought in 4 panels which she was going to cut up and use to make happy pants.  As soon as I saw this one, I told her 'No, you can't cut them up', I want to quilt this one'  LOL   When we explained what we could do with them, she got excited and thought it would be a great idea to have them quilted and she could either hang them as wall hangings or join them together to make a bed quilt.    I came home with two and have pinned this one ready for quilting and then embellishment.

I had this nice piece of fabric that I used for the backing.


Happy quilting  !!
