Suitable for Framing Quilt

sk1

This is Stacey’s quilt, the pattern is called Suitable for Framing and designed by Cheryl Wittmayer.  She used Japanese fabrics with different textures and a Black Cuddle backing.   It is a gift for a guy so she asked for a masculine quilting pattern.  I showed her a few of my favorites for guys and Plush was the winner!  I used grey So Fine thread.sk3

I like to suggest clients use Quilters Dream Puff batting when a quilt has Cuddle for the backing and is going to be used as a couch lap quilt.   The Puff has more loft and is lighter than the regular Blend so give the quilt a very soft feel.   So that is what we used on this quilt and it worked wonderfully!

  3. When you say “ cuddle” for the backing is that what I would call minky? T is very soft material.
