show off friday~~~improv mini quilt

Show Off Friday

I finally finished my improv mini quilt from my class with Heather Jones at

The Makerie Sewing Retreat in Boulder, Colorado.

It was so much fun to learn new techniques from a quilt designer!  One of the techniques that

I tried for the first time was machine stitched binding.  I always machine stitch my binding on the

right side of the quilt and then hand stitch the binding on the back.

I used Heather's tutorial to machine stitch the binding on both sides...it is a faster

way to finish a quilt, and it looks great on a modern quilt : )

Here are some pictures of my mini quilt in progress:

Here are the pictures of the finished mini quilt that measures
16 X 16 inches.

I had a wonderful time in Heather's class at The Makerie Sewing Retreat,
 and I will definitely use her tutorial on
 machine stitch binding again!
