More Quilt Questions top #2...thread and pattern
jannw   Intermediate WA USA Member since 9/3/06 Posts: 7394	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 12/6/12 1:42 PM This is top #2...It looks larger than it is..it's a crib size. I just finished it and was looking at it to decide what design to quilt in it. I was thinking an outline 1/4 inch from the seams, including the border seams. Would this be the best way to go? Would that be close enough that the batting wouldn't shift? Also, what color thread would you use? For those of you interested, this is a true Pacific Northwest quilt! The pattern designer(Laurie Shifrin), fabric artist (Lida Enche), and fabric company (In the Beginning) are all in the Puget Sound/Seattle area...and it's hanging in the PNW rain! Awk!!! Sideways again!! I think it's Photobucket..I took the picture right side up. -- Edited on 12/6/12 1:43 PM -- ------ 2009-113.25 yds 2010-115.5 2011-80.25+30+donated 2012 86.3 yds.. 2013 21.0 Everyone who sews seriously has a stockpile of fabrics, because it is natural to purchase more than can be sewn in any one season" Singer, Timesaving Sewing, 1987

I live south of you, so naturally that would come to mind. I like the colors. What fabrics did you use. What will the backing fabric look like? ------ Quilting is relaxing to me.

jannw   Intermediate WA USA Member since 9/3/06 Posts: 7394	Login to reply to this post In reply to Learn To Sew << Like this post Date: 12/6/12 2:41 PM All the fabrics are from Lida Enche's Painted Summer collection. This was a prepackaged kit from the Quilting Loft in Seattle. They had a lot at the Quilt Show in Puyallup last month, but none are listed are their website now. Pink Chalk fabrics does have some listed currently. They feel as if they have no sizing or finish on them...very soft...Come summer, I will be wearing some as tops!! I think I'll go with a solid in pink or green for the back... ------ 2009-113.25 yds 2010-115.5 2011-80.25+30+donated 2012 86.3 yds.. 2013 21.0 Everyone who sews seriously has a stockpile of fabrics, because it is natural to purchase more than can be sewn in any one season" Singer, Timesaving Sewing, 1987

CJ Tinkle Intermediate AR USA Member since 2/5/06 Posts: 978	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 12/6/12 3:21 PM Very cool! I would probably put pebbles in all the blue and green center sections, and star/sunbursts in the circle wedges, and use both green and blue threads. To keep it simple, I'd probably do bead board in the borders. ------ Bernina Artista 630 ✂ Bernina Aurora 430 ✂ Bernina 1300MDC ✂ Babylock BLCS ✂ APQS Millennium ✂ Singer 201-2 ✂ Singer 301 ✂ Singer 401A ✂ Singer 15-91 ✂ Singer Featherweight 222K ✂ Singer Featherweight 221 www.tinkletimes.com
