Leftover's Quilt.... Still In Progress....

Yesterday Carolina  asked me for a few details on the leftovers quilt...

The truth is, is that little quilt is still not done. Nearly a year ago... I'd decided to try my hand a free motion quilting, and was so disheartened by the results that I folded it up, half quilted and stuck it in a closet. You can see the crummy stitches really well on the back.

But with Carolina's prompting; I pulled it out to get some measurements, and realized that the quilting wasn't as bad as I thought from the front side.

Especially if you squint and sort of tilt your head. Definitely salvageable.

So I scraped up the motivation to start again, and show it to you today as a finished quilt! Unfortunately, the little sewing gremlins had a different idea. I was about 1-3 rows away from being done when  I heard a snap.

After a little search and rescue, I pulled these bits and pieces of my free motion foot and sewing needle out of my machine.

*Sigh*... this quilt will have to wait for another day. Does anyone have a darning foot I can borrow?
