In 2009 I was part of a quilt guild in NH and we had a Round Robin activity each month where we could bring the pieces to make a block you wanted help putting together. Whoever wanted to help would grab a baggie with instructions, take it home to make, then bring the finished block the following month. I had a quilt I wasn't "feeling" very much and wanted to get some help putting it together so I brought in my baggies and many quilters took one to complete. I put the quilt together around that time and it's sat in my finished tops pile since. Well yesterday I finished it in my Bernina 750QE with embroidery module in a snowflake design with a navy blue thread. I am really happy with how the quilting came out especially since the piecing wasn't very good. It's a biased quilt so it's very stretchy and I think I pieced the borders back when I wasn't measuring the middle of the quilt to find the border measurements. And that would be why there is a bit of a ruffling effect on most of the borders. I'm glad I stopped doing that and I've included a link here for anyone interested in this border measuring technique. This quilt is beautiful but the wavy borders and it’s inability to lay flat are embarrassing. I added the binding yesterday and here it hangs.
