0 to Quilt in...

A good friend came in the shop today needing a baby girl quilt for tomorrow. It just so happened that I had not tried my new Brother Quilting machine yet. It is a Nouvella 1500 s. I have already renamed it to Sister Nova. That machine can sew! I love it. So we picked ten fabrics and cut 40 2 1/2 inch strips. We then sewed them end to end to create a very long strip. We cut off 18 inches off the first then starting sewing the strips together on the long side. I think we folded and sewed five times. In about 1 1/2 hour we had the top completed. It took about another hour and half to quilt it with swirlies and hearts. I have never done a binding with kinky, but it might be my new thing. It made this baby quilt really really cute.
