I am really happy with the end result of this quilt. I made this 72" x 96" quilt in just over a month, which is a record for me. It didnt even get to say hello to others on the UFO pile! Alexander will really love it, I am sure, but he is a man of few words. The photos dont really show the colours well. I was skeptical of so much grey but I must say it is very nice. I pieced a strip of leftover squares from the front to make the backing wide enough. I machine quilted wavy lines every six inches. I used a medium grey Aurifil 50wt and a Superior Titanium 90/14 needle and I did not experience any trouble at all. I did however, have a bit of puckering in the middle but I am OK with that. I lessened the presser foot pressure and that made all the difference. I used the turquoise for the binding and added a label so it is now ready to be given to my beautiful son. I hope he will let me take a pic of him with his new quilt so that I can post it on my blog. He probably wont...
I am linking up with
The Needle and Thread Network for WIPWednesday Stop by and check out what everyone is working on, or has finished.
What will I work on next?? I think I better just finish the handquilting on my autumn leaves applique quilt. It is so close to being finished.
