Look Whats On My Sewing Machine

I am now quilting my pinwheel quilt! (finished this weekend) exciting I know. I am just debating whether I should go with the dark teal color for the binding, or the red stripes? Any suggestions?

I REALLY love this quilt. I am glad that I doubled the size of the pattern. I do think sticking to the pattern, and using one charm pack, would make a really nice, fun and fast baby gift. I am anxious to finish, but I have some things to go back and fix. Enlarge this picture, and take a look at the bobbin thread....

YIKES! They look like Frankenstein stitches! help!

This is my third quilt that I have machine quilted myself. (I will share the the second one soon). I found that I have naturally found some kind of 'pattern' to my stippling. It is the funniest thing.

And here it is all quilted, and waiting for the binding;

    oh, i love this!! i love the prairie points, and the "sweet" fabric.

    i would try and change your needle. it seems when my tension starts to look like that on the back, it is almost always because i forgot to change my needle before quilting it.

    your quilting looks great though!! :)

    I found I need both a new needle with each quilting project and you might have to adjust the tension

    It is beautiful, the picout edge is perfect fo it.

    I love your pinwheel quilt and "Sweet" fabric, I am making a quilt with Sweet too. Have fun with your Wee Play quilt, mine was lots of fun to stitch and went together fast. Thanks for visiting!

    My quilting does that when I turn corners too fast. It looks like your stiches are suffereing in the same place. I just open up my curves rounder if I want to go fast or I slow down for the sharper turns.

    thanks for the info on turning the corners too fast... makes sense. I will catch that next time I quilt.
