Threads from the Heartland: Quilted

I finally got this quilt kit quilt onto the long arm and quilted. 

I went with a Baptist fan design because it seemed like it would fit the style of the prints. The design is Kristin's Easy Baptist Fan from Urban Elementz. Their library of quilting designs is great when you have an idea of what you want. 

I need to find some binding and finish this one. 

Kit from Joann Fabrics (ages ago) called Threads from the Heartland.

Threads from the Heartland

Do you remember the Quilt Block of the Month kits that Joann Fabrics had (20 years ago)? Well, it seems I had one partially pieced hanging out in my boxes and boxes of fabrics. I decided it was more than time to get it pieced. I still have a border to add. It's nice to finish things. This one was Threads from the Heartland. I must have been unable to find all of the blocks because there are some duplicates.

Quilt Finish

I pieced the binding, put it into an easy to apply accordion fold, and got stitching. I used machine-finished binding for this one to finish quickly. You can see how I do that in my tutorial.  

That makes my first quilt finish of 2022. I have many more quilts that need finishing so this is just one of many. Have you made a list of things you want to finish this year? 

A close-up of the quilting can be found in this post from December 2021.

Long Arm Quilting

This poor quilt kit spent forever wanting to become a quilt. This past week I got one step closer to fulfilling that dream. I loaded it up and got quilting. 

I used this great edge-to-edge design called variety from Anne Bright Designs. 

It had swirls and flowers much like the border fabric and I thought it was perfect. With so many options it is nice to find the perfect one for a quilt. Now to trim it and get the binding attached.
