Doll quilts and organic quilting

Still working on my half-square triangle doll quilt.

So while it snows outside I'm snug in the house 

stitching away.

I wanted to add a 1 inch border and since I always have 

trouble with that small width I decided to mark the fabric at 

1/4 inch so I have a good 1 inch finished border. My sewing 

foot is not quite 1/4 inch so I need something to guide me.

A 1/4 inch foot is one feature I will want if I ever get another machine.

I added all the borders and it is now hanging with my other 

unfinished doll quilts.

These include the finished Sweet Dreams doll quilt

and an unfinished pink squares doll quilt 

(still thinking of what to do about borders for that one)

and the halloween doll quilt.

I love the "butterscotch" color of this border fabric.

After finishing up this quilt I decided to try "organic" machine quilting

on my blue baby quilt that I had pinned and waiting for hand quilting.

I like the look of this type of machine quilting in the pics I've seen posted at 

several sites.

So I went with it and started stitching.

I hope I don't end up with a ruined baby quilt.

I do see some wrinkling toward the bottom of the row.

It is probably because I am rushing the machine too much.

Keeping my fingers crossed that this works out ok.
