Back in September, I was inspired by the Moda Love Layer Cake Quilt made by Vanessa of Lella Boutique. But I especially loved her Mini Charm version. You can see all of the three versions she made here. I made mine with fabrics I had in my stash. I used my new machine to piece this, and I still hadn't mastered the 1/4 inch on it- some of those points really got chopped! Even so, I love the mint and coral together. And now that I've worked with the machine some more, my 1/4 inch has gotten much more accurate.
My next challenge? Figure out why my walking foot isn't working the way it should. I've had to pull out more rows of stitching due to really bad puckering- no fun at all :( I had done everything I could think of to correct the problem and finally called my machine dealer. He said to lower the pressure foot pressure. I was so hoping that would fix the problem- but no luck! I'm starting to think the foot may be defective...
