MICKEY MOUSE, TOO BY MARILYN ISLAS


 

No, you're not seeing double! This kid size quilt, made by Marilyn, is almost a double of the one from yesterday! On this one, the backing is a Mickey Mouse themed fleece, so this quilt is also especially cuddly and warm! The  other little baby this is going to is going to love it, too!

I used YLI White cotton thread. The digital quilting design is called "Fidget", and it is available from Anne Bright Designs. I think this design is a great choice for a kid's quilt.




Here are a few photos of the quilting in progress.
 


And here is the finished quilt, ready for Marilyn to bind.
 
 
Here is a short video of the quilt being digitally quilted with my Tin Lizzie Ansley 26 quilting machine and Butler Perfect Stitch computerized system. Maximize the screen to maximize your viewing pleasure!
 

 

The size of this quilt is approximately 49" x 57", and the cost for my services was $69.29, which included a set up fee, digital edge-to-edge quilting, Pellon cotton batting, and thread. And the quilt was finished and ready to be picked up in only a couple of days!

As it happens, Marilyn won a prize in "The Quilter Games" contest in 2021, and received a $25 gift certificate, and she also referred a customer to me, which earned her another $10. So this quilt actually only set her back $34.29!

If you are a quilter looking for affordable rates for your latest project, give me a call! Don't quilt, but looking for a great gift for a special person in your life? Or maybe you want something special for yourself. I would love to design and create a quilt especially for you! Contact me for details at 815.735.0997.
