The first is the flamingo quilt for my mom. I quilted this one in May, but I needed to fix a few spots where the top thread eye lashed. Once I got those fixed, I got all of the threads buried and then put the binding on and machine stitched it down.
I just did simple quilting.
Then, I let the dogs play on it to get their smells on it for my parents' dogs to enjoy. :)
And the other quilt that I got done was the Maxine quilt. I got it quilted earlier in the week and machined the binding on Saturday.
I just did simple quilting on this one as well. And I didn't have any issues with eyelashing, but there were a couple of spots where stitches were skipped. I'm thinking that once it is washed, those spots won't be an issue.
I think that the difference in the quilting has to do with the Flamingo being quilted with Lava and Maxine with King Tut. I will try a few more quilts with the combinations and see what the results are. I might just need to start quilting exclusively with King Tut. Time will tell.
The dogs didn't need any coaxing to give the Maxine quilt a try!

Looks like they really liked the Maxine Quilt... so much they brought their friends. LOL!
Wonderful quilts! I'm glad that they got the doggie approval :)
I generally use King Tut also. On the last two quilts for kids I used Omni and liked the way it ran in my machine paired with bottom line. You might give that a try. I have an HQ16.
They turned out lovely! I've never tried King Tut thread before. I may have to try it next time I have to order thread.
