Better Not Pout was finished just hours before my guild's Christmas party on Monday. I love how it came out! I got some ideas for the machine quilting design from Marilyn, the owner of QuiltWorks. She was the one who quilted all my Collaborative Chicks quilts. I was nervous about doing the quilting myself, but it came out pretty nice. When I get the tension working properly I can do a fair job at the quilting. Besides, I think somewhat wonky quilting looks good with the wonky blocks!
I was so happy that I had already made the back and binding and had them set aside. It was simple to pin baste and get it quilted in just a few days. The only problem was with the label which already had the date of 2009. I had to fudge it a bit by adding 2010 to the label.
I'll be posting more quilted fun and some photo essays of holiday happenings in the next week. I hope you are enjoying this holiday season!
