I've had the top done for this quilt for over a month now. Maybe a few months. But I've been stalling because 1. I don't like moving everything out of my living room to baste quilts, and 2. I'm always nervous that the quilting is going to turn out terribly and so I put it off as long as possible.
Last Saturday I met with my Modern Quilt Guild for a sewing saturday. It was a lot of fun AND it turns out that the church gym floor is the perfect place to baste a quilt! I think I will be basting all of mine there in the future.
And since I've been mostly laying around for the past 2 months (since I found out I was pregnant) I figured I'd better get something done this week!
And so - I quilted and bound the dog quilt. I love how it turned out. I did a loopy quilting pattern and I'm not so good at keeping everything even, but there are NO tucks! Amazing. Enough writing, here are the photos.
(Inspiration for this quilt from this quilt and this quilt)

You did an AMAZING job! I love the binding! Riley Blake?
That is incredible, sadly I expect nothing less than incredible from you. Amazing quilt that would take me three years to finish? From Leigh? Yawn. Totally kidding of course, I'm just running out of adjectives to let you know how seriously impressed I am. Are you doing the top-quilting on your own machine or do you send it out?
That is gorgeous! I love the pattern, colors, quilting, binding! Beautiful!
Congratulations on your pregnancy! That's so exciting! :)
Somehow your blog managed to disappear from my google reader! I didn't realize you'd been posting!
I know I always say this, but this quilt is amazing and sooooooooo cute! Leigh, you are my hero once again!
This is so cute!!! I love the quilting!
That quilt is just gorgeous.
I really love your sense of color and style. I wanna quilt like you, but I'm too slow and lazy.
What a great quilt - good use for the sweet little munki/ HR bits!
Looks really great all put together.
This turned out so great! I loved it when I saw it at the quilt guild sewing Saturday. Great job!
Super cute! You do a great job!
Do you have a quilting machine or do you do that on your regular sewing machine?
It is incredible!!!
Marianne and Kim -
I did the quilting on my regular sewing machine. It's called free motion quilting. Maybe I'll do a post about it soon so you can see what I'm talking about.
That's stellar Leigh! I love that print and the binding is perfect.
