This tutorial is a thank you to all those who have commented or favourit-ed this mini quilt of mine on flickr, all those who have added it to mosaics, everyone who entered the giveaway last year and (very thankfully!) those lovely ladies who road tested the link for me yesterday!!!.

This was my first proper attempt at raw edge applique and free motion embroidery, I have made some smaller items before but this much more of a proper go at playing with these techniques.

If you would like to have a go at trying your hand at these techniques I hope this guide will help.

I finished my second quilt. Woo hoo.  And, it looks exactly like the first one I made... just with different colors. Hey, once you find a good thing, go with it, right?  Actually, I really loved the first quilt I made but it was a gift for my sister, so when it was time to make one for me, I decided to make the same thing... a little larger.  I started this project here.  Yes, July 5, 2011. One year and 6 months ago.  I didn't say I was fast.

Here's the short backstory:  My sister was pregnant with baby #3 and to everyone's surprise, it was a boy... her 3rd boy!  Sooo, since a whole lot of what little baby Levi would be getting would be a hand-me-down from his 2 older brothers, I decided to make something new just for him.  The perfect time to tackle quilting.

The other day, surfing through blogs, I found this amazing quilt. I immediately thought of all of the scraps of LouLouThi I had left over from cutting charm packs for our etsy shop. This turned out to be a super quick and easy project and I am so proud of it, that I thought I would share the ‘how-tos’ of it with you
