Longarm Ruler Quilting on a Baby Quilt

Last week I unfolded a quilt I’d started quilting on my home machine and moved it to my longarm frame. Lots of drama ensued as the quilt didn’t go on the frame very straight, but I eventually managed to baste it into submission.

Check out how things went in this new longarm quilting tutorial:

I really love how this turned out! It was tedious and I caught myself multiple times wishing I’d started a simpler design on my home machine. But it was a great experiment to see if I could move the quilt and continue the design. It worked out great and now there’s only a bit of quilting left to finish in the borders.

And what is the perfect design for borders? Feathers! Make sure to check in next week as I try my very first feathered border.

Let’s go quilt,
