Quilting with a walking foot on Throwback Thursday

Welcome to Throwback Thursday (TBT) link-up for August. I'm co-hosting for Sandra of mmm! quilts this month. If you're looking for Free Motion Mavericks, click here!

First Sampler Quilt Using a Walking Foot

I believe that this is one of the first sampler quilts that I made to practice using my walking foot. It was supposed to be a cuddle quilt for pre-mature babies, however it turned out incredibly stiff. Even my brother's dog Boots wasn't interested in lying down on it!

Sampler quilt quilted with a walking foot

It was made with flannel and a thin batting. I recognize the star blocks since I made a few Christmas runners using those blocks.

It would make a better mat than a blanket!

This is the back. I got to be pretty handy with the walking foot before I finally got my Jag (my awesome Jenome)

Quilting from the back

It may be too stiff to lie down on but Chevy is always ready for a photo op!

Chevy doesn't lie down on it either!

What I learned

• I'm not really sure why the quilt was so stiff, but now if I'm going to use flannel, I usually only use it for either the front or the back. I know that I made another one what turned out fine - but I'm not sure what I did, since it was donated a long time ago.
