Granted, her quilts are gorgeous....but quilting them is another matter. Leanne advised me to quilt it with clear Monopoly thread. I used a Mono Poly invisible from Superior. i guess that is the same kind of thing. it was quite a chore to 1. thread the machine...and the needle and 2. see where i was quilting. and i have a couple more of her quilts to do, too. my poor eyes. i'm half blind already.
But it is a cool quilt and i like it.
It is about 40" square
I used batiks for all the backgrounds
There are some really tiny pieces in her patterns.
I used the invisible Mono Poly thread from Superior for the fusible blocks.
And a Glide Cream thread for the parts that weren't blocks.
I SID the sashing blocks. my eyes are getting bad, so mostly it is almost SID. haha
And did a leaf design in the border.
The butterfly in this block is 3-D
The batiks all seems to blend together.
Here's that 3-D butterfly
Back is something from the stash. Bobbin thread was So FIne cream
