Quilting Again!

I have been practicing free motion quilting lately. It is one of the more challenging thing I have tried to do. I think this is going to be something that I am going to enjoy once I get the hang of it. It is going to require lots of practice!!!
Here is my helper. It seems like whenever I lay something down to photograph it Skittles needs to come and help...
Here is my first baby blanket. I had the piece of fabric that I used in the center and just loved it as it was so I chose to create boarders around it. It was very fun to do. I also decided I needed to try and do some free motion quilting on something other than practice pieces.

I still have a long way to go with my free motion quilting but I think I have jumped into it with both feet. Here we go...

There is no turning back.

I have also been working on the 9 patch a day quilt along and I now have 52 squares. I think I am a bit behind but only about 5 or so.
