carolinequilts Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I haven't 'shared' in awhile, but I just completed this quilt with the Circle Lord Swirls boards and the experience was a bit unique. My customer brought me the quilt and a fluffy polar fleece blanket for the back. We discussed this and I suggested Hobbs Polydown batting after considering a lightweight cotton, the Hobbs or nothing at all. For thread, I used Bottom Line thread in the bobbin and King Tut on top, and I raised my hopping foot. I also used the 'push button thingy' and bobbin cam so that I could work from the front. I think it came out kind of nice. Certainly - the back is very interesting. Here are some pictures.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
