Hello Cuties! This is the quilt I posted about in Main. I thank you for all your advice especially about tying. That was going to be my last resort. I know what a back braking job tying is for me and I’m so happy I had the right needles for my manuel long arm to quilt this double knit/leisure suit fabric. I was able to meander through although I almost ran over my finger more than once trying to stitch across the double knit seams. My foot wanted to hang some of the seams and stretch the knit. When it did go over, that’s when I’d nearly get my finger under. It’s done and labeled. Hal A Lou Yer!
I might have a few bubbled ups at the seams or where she pieced a square, but like my grandson said it’s for him, not a show quilt. Great grandma Mary had pinched seams and squares that didn’t match up, so I guess my quilting wasn’t so bad after all-lol
Have a nice day my friends❤️Toogie
Edit to show why sometimes my back hurts ( on the floor) I’ve been told easier ways but I am stubborn and I rarely get a pinch in my quilt backs this way.
I also wanted to say I used 100% cotton gray blend for my back of this. I got it at Hobby Lobby. It was 108 wide and top was about 80 inch square. Should have enough without piecing the back. Guess what? I knew I could take at least 20 inches off and still have plenty so before I laid on the floor I cut at 20 inches. Why do I do such stupid things? I cut the 20 inches from the selvage BUT fabric was double, so I was 20 inches short! I had to piece the gray back because of my carelessness.
Never again? Look at my reply to Angie😩😩😩
I try to pin a quarter of a quilt at a time, before I try to get up and rest my back and knees. If it’s a smaller quilt, I’m good, usually. It’s those queen and King that do me in.
