 2 members like this. Date: 11/11/12 10:53 AM I pieced this scrappy top at the beginning of the year, had it about 1/3 of the way quilted and noticed my tension was whacked. I'd used black thread (on black fabric) and I just couldn't see it well enough to frog it, so I ended up scalping it... that was the first time I'd ever resorted to a razor blade!
Then I reloaded it and quilted it, so at long last it's done! This pattern is called "Flower Boxes" by Heather Mulder Peterson. I used up some of my really old scraps in this one!

Date: 11/11/12 12:22 PM LOVE it! Worth the scalping. I have a crib-sized quilt waiting for that treatment. Funny I always have something I'd rather do...
The black is great, I never tire of squares, and the quilting is excellent, worth the effort. ------ 🌸 Plenty of machines, mostly Berninas 🌸 |

Once they get too ratty for the house, they go in our vehicles. Picnic blankets, road trips, whatever :).------ Bernina Artista 630 ✂ Bernina Aurora 430 ✂ Bernina 1300MDC ✂ Babylock BLCS ✂ APQS Millennium ✂ Juki TL2010Q ✂ Singer 201-2 ✂ Singer 301 ✂ Singer 401A ✂ Singer 15-91 ✂ Singer Featherweight 222K ✂ Singer Featherweight 221

What batting did you use - it looks like it has some real loft to it?
