This quilt is just under 80" square if it were any bigger I would have to go back to the cutting away method as it just wouldn't fit under the harp of my machines but next time for a quilt this size or smaller, this works for me. Also be warned, I don't think with a cotton batt or a heavier weight poly, I still would have found it impossible to fit under. So the Quilter's Dream Request Poly and the Hobbs wool combination works for me.
Hi Sally....I've missed you, but I know how it is to lose interest for a bit. Glad to see you working, and I think it's great that you found a way to get the same effect with less steps. I'm all for economy. How are your kitties? How is your husband?
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely Sally. I have been hoping you were working, since you weren't blogging.
ReplyDeleteI really like the yellowy effect of the camera. It looks very cheerful! It makes me think you should do one that colour...or at least the cloth should be a gradation of yellows. but, there we are, I am sure you don't need more ideas!

Sally your quilting is exquisite..I love your work and am so glad you are starting to get into it again. I don't machine quilt but dream of it when I see your quilting...just awesome!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow !!!
ReplyDeleteThat double batting really puffs up the motifs and gives it a lot of texture. I love the effect.
Stunning!
ReplyDeleteI've been contemplating a trapunto quilt; actually started marking it and set it aside. I washed the marks out last week and now, thanks to your post I will use the 2 batting method instead of the wash-away thread and trim batting method. Thanks. I LOVE your quilt!
