Thanks to the back-up sewing machine that my sister-in-laws gave me over a month ago I was able to make some progress on the Double Irish Chain baby quilt that I am making for my niece and her soon to be daughter, "Breanne". I figured out the tension issue on the machine. I am fairly happy with the back of the quilt. It is my first time using Bonnie Hunter's book "Word Play Quilts".
To the right of the name "Breanne" I added a signature block. I'm not sure if that's the place I should have put it, but there it is. Now that I look at the picture I should have probably put it below the name and running parrellel with it. (I am going to have to change that today.
Kudo's to the back-up Kenmore Ultra Stitch 8 -- Which by my guess is from the 70's. I don't think I will do my first machine quilting project with it. I will wait until the Viking returns.
... Thanks, Johnna's mom!

Great job! I love the use of her name on the back of the quilt pieced right in. No one will be able to swipe it! Thanks for the links to the giveaways!
The quilt is wonderful! I especially like the addition of the baby's name on the back with the block letters.
