chrisquilter Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 This is why I love my APQS Millennium. I used rainbow thread on top with black bottomline in the bobbin on a black back. NO POKIES! Batting was black cotton poly blend. I added a layer of thin wool to enhance the applique. This was a shop hop quilt pattern, so the blocks were slightly different sizes. Therefore, no sashing was the same size! Yikes! I have a few additional grey hairs over this quilt. So happy this one is finished!

This is going in my faves - my guild is finishing up their raffle quilt, which is bright batiks on a black background, and this is exactly what I had in mind for the quilting!!

Fun quilt!! Hi Joan, I used Superior Rainbow 801. Also the feathers were hook feathers. I did not want to travel back down the spine with such contrasting thread so hook feathers it is. The spines in the feathers are from "Feather Adventures" by Patsy Thompson. I love that book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
