Step Down... MOO!

Recently, I've been quilting like crazy.  I tried a new technique called "step down piecing" and found it fun, and fascinating, and really, not that complicated.  I love a scrappy quilt, and so I signed up for Sarah Fielke's Big Techniques From Small Scraps on Craftsy.com  It was there I discovered this fancy new technique, and I must say, I highly recommend it!  I have been in love with Moda's Oink-a-doodle-moo since I first laid eyes on it, and when I saw this, I knew it was what I wanted to do.  

Here's an afternoon's progress!

This quilt is going to a sweet little boy, who has not yet made his appearance in the world.  I hope he loves this quilt as he grows up!

Another experiment of late is free motion quilting on my hearty old Pfaff 1222... I'm getting better & better at it, which makes me SO happy :)

Quilting - In progress


Here's a few shots of the finished quilt!

Tractors on the back & cow print binding!


All rolled up and ready to go!

Happy Quilting!
