Ford's Quilt is FINISHED!!

The binding all piled on the floor waiting to be sewn on.
 My 14 year old held this up so I could snap a quick shot.  I LOVE it!  ...now I know that's a shock ;D  I am pretty sure that my son will love it too! 
 
 
Grey dimple minky for the back per my son's request.
 I decided to go with the walking foot this time.  I had fun with this one and it was pretty quick too.  It's finished size is 60x78.  Perfect for a growing boy!

  1. Great job and it's finished, yaaaay! Was the minky fabric tricky to work with? I always wanted to try it, but thought it's too slippery for me...

  2. I was worried it would be, but its been great. When I make the quilt sandwich, the minky just has to be gently taut.... not too taut but not to slack, just like the porridge ;D

  3. How cute is that? I'm digging the minky on the back...I'm working on a baby quilt that will have minky on the back...it will be my first time with the fabric.

    Btw, I love the name of your blog. :)

  4. Great quilt! I'm glad to hear you like the minky. I have a few yards in my stash but I haven't been brave enough to try it yet. Good to know it isn't too hard to work with.
