The First Quilt on the Longarm



Today was the day I quilted my first quilt, onmy longarm!


It had been ready and loaded since Friday evening, and teased me all weekend, during my working week!


I chose a lovely variegated thread for the top, and a grey for the bobbin.



A simple stipple.

I am more than pleased with the result.  

I need to slow down, and take my time.  You can definitely tell I was getting much better by the end of the quilt. 



The borders leave something to be desired, but I wasn’t ripping, and I will get the hang of it.  Still looks good in my book.

The back was some lovely animal print in black, white and grey.

 

A win for me!


Now to square and bind.
