Finished the Chenille quilt.  I think it turned out cute but it is really heavy!  You can see all the different kinds of fabrics and textures that a  baby can get her hands into to feel.  The next picture just shows the back of the quilt which is plain old old fashioned chenille.

This turned out to be doable but I wouldn't recommend it as a cuddly soft quilt.  It turned out very heavy, not cuddly.  But that is what the customer wanted.

Keep on quilting and your quilting will get better every day.

Happy quilting!

quilting chenille

Haven't posted for a few days.

Had my infusion Sat and Sun,

rested Monday,

then spent yesterday in the ER with

huge headache and fever.

I'm okay now.

headache nearly gone and I don't have any flu or anything.

A few minutes ago I got a wild hare about a quilt that is waiting to be quilted and decided to start.

You see it is backed with chenille, the old fashioned kind, and there is also chenille on the front interspersed with regular cotton and minkee.

My headache may come back.

It is just 5 inch squares and a chenille border.

Oddly it quilts semi okay but when I'm going through the chenille on the top my hopping foot looks like Peter Rabbit hopping through high grass.

Just what I like --

a challenge.

It's really heavy, almost more like a rug than a quilt.
