Finished Lucky Square

It's done, done, done!

Last night I put the last few stitches in the binding and I got pictures this morning before I left for work!

Here is a closer picture of the binding and the front:

And here is a picture of the quilting on the back:

I can see lots of little imperfections, but I love this one because it's my work start to finish.

Layered and Quilted Lucky Square

I took a chance and tried out this fusible batting to use with my Lucky Squares quilt. The directions are simple and it worked fairly well! I did have a little bit of trouble because I started the quilting and then had to take it out and re-adhere the quilt top, backing, and batting.

Here's the top adhered to the batting (and partially folded over to be able to reach the whole thing with the iron!)

Here's the back layered and fused (definitely had to jankily piece this one together because it was like 4 inches too short to do what I originally planned to do!:

Today I did the machine quilting of the entire top with my walking foot! It went so much quicker than I had expected and I even got the binding sewn on the front so I can start working on the hand stitching while I watch some Netflix tonight.

Have a lovely rest of your weekend!
