I finally put the borders on my quilt and quilted it today. I made the top in class in November. It just needed the borders popped on (easier said than done).
For the backing, I decided to piece in a strip of the fabrics that were used in the top. I like the effect that it has. I quilted with red thread in the bobbin and a taupe colour on top. Above, you can see the backing with the quilt folded on top of it along with the charcoal coloured batting.
The backing is loaded onto my A1 Quilting Machine.
Quilting in progress. I used Swirl and Twirl for the all over quilting. It is one of my favourite designs for this style quilt.
The finished quilt laid out on the floor. It isn’t my favourite quilt of all time (I am still deciding whether I even like it), but it will have a home on one of the boys’ beds, I suppose.
And the backing with the pieced strip in. Is it wrong of me to say that I like the backing better?
I like the back better too. Sorry to whom ever the designer is…
