Borderline Quilter Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 When I bought this top I could tell that the piecer had put a lot of thought into the fabrics and the piecing....the fabrics are a wonderful quality. I have used this straight line quilting in wholecloths before...it's great for pushing back the background so I used that in all the light coloured triangles which let the darker triangles come forward....curved crosshatching and a feathered swirl with a pebbled spine finished each block. I ghosted the straight line triangles out into the plain border....that left a corner space that was perfect for a feathered swirl....the fabric in the outer border is rather busy so a straight continuous feather finished off the quilting just right! I used a double batting/wadding of Hobbs 80/20 and Quilters Dream wool, I used Filtec glide in the needle and bobbin. As usual there are more photos and information on My Blog and in My Flickr Album ..…thanks for looking!

LFQuilts Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 The double wadding really shows off your lovely quilting. Like the others, I like the straight line filler that really made the less densly quilted areas pop! I imagine you grinning ear to ear as you quilted this beauty.
