Candy Gems

This has been done for awhile, but there has been a furbaby seeking my attention a lot these days.
This is backed in minky dots, which quilts up really well. Fear not the minky people!
I probably wouldn't bind in it again, as it's very thick, but for a little 3 year old, this will be the perfect backing to cuddle with.

I dropped the quilt in the snow...well, rather, the wind blew it off the fence...so there's snow all over.
I quilted just the white parts of this quilt. I kind of like the effect! Click on the images to enlarge for more detail.

This is what is taking up my time. I mean, really he looks so gorgeous and innocent here, but right now he is tormenting the cat and taunting me with every.little.thing that isn't glued to the floor.

I haven't introduced him to my sewing space downstairs yet. I'm afraid.

  4. What a cute finish (and a cute puppy)! I'm glad to hear that you're not running in the other direction after using Minky on the backing. I'd love to try it, but I've been a bit intimidated. How closely did you place your pins for basting?

  5. It turned out really great! I never would have thought of using minky for anything other than tied quilts... Seems to work well!

    That pup is just so darn cute!
