Quilty Fun Birthday Cake banner

My youngest grandson is Jacob, he will be 2 years old on April 8, and this quilty fun birthday cake banner is for him!

Then I'll be all caught up with my banners :)

I wasn't able to use my "M" and "N" pieces, because I cut them a l/2" shorter than they should have been!

I like the look of this cake though.

I used Lori Holt's fabric with dessert recipes, for the border.

I quilted with a stipple stitch, but tried something different with the cake and cake stand and bow.

In the past, I have used my walking foot and outlined the pieces, using stitch in the ditch method.

This time, I used my free motion foot and just traced around the pieces.

I think I prefer the look using the walking foot.

I pieced the back, using a cute fairy tale fabric.

Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of it!

I outlined each letter with the free motion foot too.

I'm not crazy that some of the stitching runs into the letters.

I used a machine blanket stitch to attach the letters.

I have a tutorial with measurements for the banner that you can view here.

Thanks for reading my posts!
