Used a pantograph to quilt this - it's an older one, called 'Garden'
I actually did borders! I haven't done borders for a very very long time...
Glide thread on top, bottom line on bottom.... Hobbs 80/20 batting.
Not fond of the hobbs batting...it was quite stretchy and thin in some spots? quite the opposite of what I have heard...
It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job . I love it.
ReplyDeleteIsnt it interesting that we all have our favourite preference when it comes to batting. I havent heard of Hobbs but Im a huge fan of Warm and Natural.
I look forward to seeing it in person tomorrow! Its beautiful in the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI don't like Hobbs 80/20 either. Much prefer Quilters Dream.
ReplyDeleteMillie is really working out well! I don't like Hobbs either. I use Quilters Dream also.

What a lovely work of art; you have reason to be very proud of this piece. I look forward to seeing it with the binding in place.
ReplyDeleteCool quilt! I love anything with leaves in the design:)
ReplyDeleteI HATE Hobbs batting...its uneven, feels awful and tends to poke out the back a lot!!
Love Quilters Dream batting.
DId you do a dance of joy when you finished it?? :-) yay - a long-armed quilt by Andrea!
ReplyDeleteI can't remember if I've ever used Hobbs. I usually buy the cotton/bamboo blend or cotton/soy at my local quilt shop but it comes off the roll and I have no idea as to the manufacturer. It's really good batting though, a decent price, and both wash beautifully.
I'm visiting from Cindy's blog. Your work is beautiful and I love your quilting style.
