I have been busy over the week-end - sewing a quilt for Michael Miller Fabrics - featuring a new release from Patty Young - Andalucia in Evergreen!
I quilted this one myself
and want to share just how I did it on my home sewing machine!
First of all I made a design on graph paper for the quilting in the 6" squares.
Then I cut Press 'N Seal into 6" squares.
Lay a square of Press 'N Seal over the design on the graph paper
and walla - trace the design with an ink pen!
Lay the Press 'N Seal over one of the squares on the quilt top
and safety pin the corners down.
Machine sew on the ink pen lines.
And then tear away the Press 'N Seal!
I did some straight line quilting in the rectangular sections.
What fun!
And here is the quilt.......
welllll, *this* is going to be fun! I really like that colorway, too. Thanks!
