This is another one that my sister is sending to my niece. It is 60x75. With selvages on a base fabric, plus heavy batting, this is a heavy quilt. selvage quilts are always heavier due to multiple seams and base fabrics.
Blocks are 7". All blocks have a red strip in the middle. In the border blocks i used mainly the white parts of the selvages.
I quilted an X in each block and then a line from side to side and top to bottom. And went around all blocks, too. It was continuous on each row, with 5 passes.
I broke a needle on the second row in a thick intersection of blocks. I switched to a leather needle and didn't have any more breakage.
But I did have a few intersections that I couldn't sew through and had to make a little circle around it.
Look for zombies in the border. haha
The back is a black, gray and red plaid flannel. I used the same fabric as the back for the binding.
Top thread was Glide Black; bobbin was So Fine Taupe...which looks grey on the backing.
