I came across this top again the other day and then an idea popped into my head as to how to quilt it....so, i had to quilt it up. It is 60x78" It always amazes me how much you lose after quilting...i started with 61x80.
I had it loaded as usual...and then looked at it and decided it would be MUCH simpler to load it lengthwise as I was just going to do lines. So, i unloaded, turned and reloaded. I didn't mark the lines or measure...just eye-balled it. i wasn't concerned that the lines weren't an equal distance apart.
I did all the red and blue arrows first, then the borders, then the white middle. The blue border has lines going the same as the middle, but the red border had lines running opposite.
The back was a muslin.
Glide red, white and blue for the top; Bottom Line Beach for the bobbin.
I'm going to try and do all the arrow quilts, so i can hang them all together at the market.
