It has been snowing here for the past two day but the sun came out this morning. I shoveled the ice again as I could hardly see where I had cleared it off a few days ago.
This is the guild third Snowman quilt and we will use this one for an In-House raffle at our Quilt Show in April. I tried a new batting on this one, it is Quilters Dream Poly Select, the guild bought a whole roll to try. It makes a much softer lighter quilt and I think this will be great for the guilds quilts as they donate so many and you never know how they are going to be taken care of. I don't think I would recommend this batting for my clients larger bed quilts as it is not very strong and is quite thin. But for kids quilts that get washed a lot it would be fine.
I used a panto called Flurry. The pattern is called Perfect Ten and the fabric line is called Makin' New Friends.

Here are the other two quilts the guild made using this fabric. We purchases a 36 fat quarter bundle of this fabric line and got three quilts out of it. Not bad eh!
nice quilting pattern, and it suits the quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love that panto...and all those quilts are just wonderful! A simple pattern can be so effective.
ReplyDeleteLinda, from The Quilted Pineapple mentioned you and your blog when I asked her about whether to always match top and bobbin threads on quilts. So over I came and what should I find, your post 24th Nov where you have done what I have done occasionally, at the request of a customer, used a contrasting thread in the bobbin leaving some "pokies" if you looked carefully. Funny coincidence. I'm now going to trawl through your older posts, can't wait! By the way I would have found it really difficult to quilt with a black thread on that yellow backing fabric too!
ReplyDeleteCan you please tell me the name of this pattern? I have a memory quilt I'm working on and this will be perfect!
