I showed this quilt top in sewing a few days ago, but it is now promoted to projects as it has been quilted in the hoop of my embroidery machine. This was the first time the quilting hoop had been out of its packaging but I think it will see more use now!
The backing is fleece. It doesn't have a conventional binding. I cut the fleece to just under half the width of the border I had added and then folded and stitched the border over it.It is about 52 inches by 44 inches.

I've used fleece as a backing both with and without batting. It gives a nice cuddly finish and is easy to work with. You should try it!
14579141781Thanks for showing the back. Did you hoop the quilt? or use a stabilizer and pin it on? I have a crib size quilt that I'm going to try this on. Love your work. Avis

They aren't ith blocks. The patchwork was the quartered stripes quilt from MSQC made on the sewing machine. I just did the quilting on the embroidery machine.

The quilting design is 195mm square to fit my 200mm blocks. My quilting hoop is 220mm square so plenty big enough.
8872172Nicely done! I do almost all of my quilting these days in the hoop...
318455Love the colors. It is beautiful. Haven't tried machine quilting on quilts yet but this just may motivate me to try. Thank you for sharing.
14637What a great job you have done. The back is as lovely as the front. Nicely done.
6079It is fabulous! How long did it take to work it? 30 hoopings?

33350Looks great. Lots of wrangling with the fabric I imagine but so worth it by the looks of it
