What a gorgeous fish!. I love you you did the background seaweed so perfectly!. This design looks pretty dense, so I think you might consider the weight of the finished quilt. All that thread and fabric can weigh a lot. If it is for young children, I'd also consider the "cuddle" factor. These dense designs sometimes be a little stiff.
I would do a iron stabilizer for red and float a tear away for fish, even 2 layers. Do a sample first. Good Luck!
Hi Narelle, I'm making my queen size quilt at the moment and I use a medium weight stabiliser. I'm keeping the main part of it attached and have just taken off the edges. On some of the heavier designs I've used 2 pieces of stabiliser. Hope yours turns out well. Love Chris
Sorry, no I don't use iron on stabiliser, but that would be great,especially on the denser parts of the design. Love Chrs\is
If I am doing a quilt as you go then I don't use any stabilising if doing blocks to sew and quilt the ordinary way I use a tear away.normally one layer hope this helps.
You could use batting as stabilizer. It all depends how you want to assembel the quilt. You could use the red as the quilting for instance..I am curious what the advice from Cuties will be
Thank you. The red is stitched out first so I don't think it could be used as quilting. I haven't tried this before so I appreciate your input.
