I dew quilting Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 I had a doily made by my Grandmother in the early 1900's. I quilted it using Glide thread in Leather on a silk backing with wool batting. This was gifted to my sister for Christmas. The doily is 25" round and finished at 35" square. She loved it. I used QP templates for the curves, everything else is freehand on my APQS Mille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
