I basted the quilt sandwich late July and instantly obtained began with the quilting. I’ve saved the quilting actually easy by stitching vertical straight traces throughout the quilt, spaced 1″ aside. Numerous straight line quilting! This works completely for this quilt with a lot of stitching information factors to keep away from having to mark traces on the quilt high. It is also the only technique to straight-line quilt a hexagon quilt that has been English Paper Pieced with out ditch-stitching any of the hand sewn seams; these seam traces could not fare properly when the heavier needle of the stitching machine stitches into it (significantly as seam allowances have been pressed open).
For the again of the quilt I’ve used a single textual content material from the Classic Made Trendy Assortment by Amy Barickman for RJR Materials. The textual content design is printed on a mushy yellow background. This assortment was launched in 2015 and the yardage, purchased for quilt backing material, has patiently been ready in my stash for the appropriate quilt to return alongside.
