This is what I've been working on the last few days. It is the quilt that was intended for Mr M&M's birthday way back in Nov. I have been sewing the last sashings and then it was the bindings.
One thing I've discovered while making the last few large quilts, is that to avoid all the rolled up bulk under your sewing machine when you are quilting, it can help to turn your machine around and work with it facing you end on, or slightly at an angle. Might feel a wee bit odd, but it's so much easier.
Finished picture coming soon.....

What a great idea....I would never have thought of that. I have not done very much machine quilting....it intimidates me. I keep meaning to start with something small.....one of theses days:)
OOOOO just did a close up on that rainbow thread......that's beautiful....OK I'll be quiet now:)
hmmmmm.....good idea...... I'll remember that... in case I EVER make another large quilt....that blessed t-shirt quilt is haunting me...
What a brilliant idea, would never have thought to do that, you are so clever. Love the varigated thread. Jenni
Ah ha!!! I was asking about this amazing techno-coloured quilt in your last posting...now I know what it's getting up to...I feel content. Lol.
Top of the class Miss Carole--what a great idea.
oh wow i have never seen that, great idea Miss Carole!!!
What kind of variegated thread do you use, mine keep snapping? xxxjen
Gorgeous fabrics, Carole! Here I was going to comment on your varigated thread, but EVERYONE has beat me to it! Looks quite stout to be run through a machine. And if Jen's is snapping, then you must have a special knack at using it (or a large eyed needle!)
Brilliant idea! I will give it a try when quilting the baby blanket I am making now!
Thank you!!
