Gypsy Dance



I finished my Gypsy Dance quilt top.  My sewing machine and I didn't get along so well at the beginning, but after some practice we were getting along a lot better.   I volunteered to do a pattern test for Bree over at Distant Pickles. (My first time to test a pattern.)


 It will be for sale very soon, so go check it out.  I used Moda Meadow Friends to make a cute little baby sized quilt.  It is six different fabrics out of that collection. 



Don't pay too close attention, I didn't get some of the seams exact, but I really like how it turned out.  I have never made half of the requirements for this pattern.  It was a challenge for being pretty new at piecing.




Now off to the sewing machine to do some quilting! 


 See ya soon!

    Very nicely done. This looks like a pretty straight-forward quilt to but together, but it makes a beautiful result!

    It's beautiful! I know it sounds weird, but I'm glad you put pictures of the quilt with the zigs going up and down and left to right...it's interesting to see how it looks both ways!
