Gail asked me to quilt this Halloween quilt for her granddaughter. Gail tried quilting it herself but her machine was playing up. The top is very busy so I was going to do a simple meander or something but the backing Gail gave me to use was plain-ish so I decided to do a Halloween design.
I didn't have any Halloween designs so I bought this digital design from Urban Elementz
I noticed that one of Gail's seams was coming undone so I repaired that.
And all the seams along the edges were coming undone so I repaired those before sewing my usual 1/8th inch stay stitching around the whole quilt.
I'm going away for the weekend with my family and dogs so I have a billion things to do so, of course, I decided to quilt the quilt instead! I was only going to get it up on the frame but I couldn't stop once I got started!
Here's the quilting on the top. Totally wasted!
Minnie inspected the quilt!
Here's the backing that Gail pieced. I didn't manage to get the quilt top centred on the backing (which is why I make my backings deliberately off centre ha ha!)
Here's the quilting on the back.
It was good to get a quilting project done for a change!
