There is a batting. I really want to quilt like crazy circles everywhere. I showed the person what I could do and she was enthusiastic about what I showed her but, Im a little afraid -- I dont want to it be too much. But, I think it would be really cool. Its hard to know. I think Ill do it. ------ Drag queen quilter!

Date: 2/22/13 5:50 AM Portland, you're going to have to tell us the secret to getting more than 24 hours in a day. That's the only explanation for the amount of quilts you can whip up. :-D Love the fiesta cover!

Love how colorful it is! Did you make the striped and checked fabric and then piece together? Trust your gut with the finish work--circles would be great and would reflect the circles in the Fiesta Ware.
PortlandMaine   Advanced Beginner ME USA Member since 1/29/11 Posts: 1629	Login to reply to this post 1 member likes this. Date: 2/22/13 8:31 AM I love myself a bright, free from quilt. That is for sure. I did piece all of the segments. The stripes, checkers, and grids. No pre planning or mapping for me. I just bought the fabrics, cut a 70 inch circle out of some fabric and started to make segments. I pieced them together as I went along covering the backing fabric. When it was all covered I did something I had never done b-4. I used spray baste to baste the batting onto the back and cut away the extra batting - then pinned the top to the back an batting. I super love it. ------ Drag queen quilter!

I love the colors, and I like all of the different stripes, and how you used them. And I just love, love the purple and lime mirrored pieces.
