I have a near finish. I got the carpenter star quilt sandwiched on Tuesday. The batting is thicker than what I usually use and it gave it great texture. I used a variegated blue thread for the blue sections and cream for the background. I used my walking foot for the straight lines.

| Some curves to work with all the straight lines. |

I need to finish up the borders, but that will be more straight lines and should get done today with no problem.

| Lots of texture. |
This is a commissioned quilt. It isn't due until October, so I way ahead of the game. Woo hoo!

Hi Melissa, that's a wonderful almost finish! What batting did you use to make it fluffier? Thanks for linking up to TGIFF!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could tell you what batting it was. I got it at the thrift store and it was unlabeled. But it was $2 and was enough for this quilt and the bit that was left over will be padding for a stool I am recovering. It is 1/2" thick and I usually use 1/4" for here in Florida. This quilt is likely going to be used on the floor with the baby so the extra thickness is good.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beauty. I love the free motion quilting that you did within the walking foot quilting.
