Fox Face Is Finished

I worked really hard to finish up the Fox face quilt so I could gift it. 

 I needed to quilt it and bind it.  

Here are a few process shots.

I took this as I was finishing up the face.  

The white part on the left is just marked with my Hera marker, not stitched.

 This goofball was being very "helpful" during the whole process.

You can see some of the quilting in this pic, on the background

I used long strips of tape as guides for my straight lines.  It worked out pretty well.

Time to choose the binding.  Blue or purple?  The yellow on the right is the back fabric.

I ended up choosing a completely different purple and am very happy with this one.

Here she is all quilted up!

I love that purple binding!

The purple goes so well with the back too!

All wrapped up with the chenille blanket I made to go with it and ready to gift to baby Clara Rose.

Autumn was exhausted with all the hard work!

I will link this up with Crazy Mom Quilts for finish it Friday.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Fox Quilt is Finished and Gifted

I worked like a fiend to finish the Fox quilt for the baby shower last Saturday.  

I had all the quilting to do and then the binding. 

 The shower was in the morning too.  Here is how things progressed.  

I wanted to make straight lines so decided to use my Hera marker to mark the lines.  

You can see the lines in this photo, they are more of creases.  

It was a little difficult to see them during the quilting so not sure I will do this again.  

I may resort to my trusty masking tape!

Autumn was helping as per usual.

I used invisible thread but in hindsight I might have liked regular cotton better for the background.

I will probably use that for the other fox that I need to quilt.

Supervising the binding.

Here is a cat free photo of the finished quilt.  I LOVE how this turned out!!!

I had this backing fabric in my stash so decided it would be perfect for a fun backing.  I have enough of this to back the other fox in too.  YAY!

Here is a photo of Khali opening the quilt.  

Sorry the photos are so dark, but you get the idea.  She was pretty happy with this.

I also made a chenille blanket using Detroit Tigers fabric and

 the signature navy and orange for the chenille. 

 I love how this came out and will make more of these in the future. 

 Maybe one for Mott.

I am linking up to Finish It Up Friday.

Have a great weekend!!
