As you probably know I am participating in the
You can find this weeks link up here! I am a tad bit ahead as my rows are already sewn into three sections.
Since it was Finally warmer today I planned to take a photo outside after work...But somebody forgot to tell the wind of my plans...The first two sections are already quilted,and the third as you can see is taped and ready whenever I can get to it.(hopefully tomorrow after work) Of course I will need to make the backing as soon as the quilting is finished. The quilting is on the diagonal because it is quick and easy straight line quilting.
I have been carefully(since it is too windy to do this outside) spray basting each section with Spray-n-Bond. I found this at walmart last fall,and decided to try it because I have always been happy with Heat-n-Bond products. What I like about this is that it does not have a scent/odor. The cans are smaller,but work fine for smaller projects. So far it has lasted for all three sections and there is still plenty in the can. I have seen this at Joann's too.
I am interested in the method of quilting sections?? I really like the layout of the sort of large pyramid shapes. This is going to be a beauty!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the quilt is coming together! I'm not surprised you're ahead of the game!
ReplyDeleteWOW! You're definitely ahead int he QAL, I just finished cutting all my triangles. Yours is looking beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI was interested that you said you are quilting before adding the backing? Interesting approach. I'd like to hear more about that. =)
ReplyDeleteI also would like to hear about adding your backing after quilting your top......I haven't seen that done before.............enjoy reading your blog.....
ReplyDeleteI was gonna SDK the same thing... What method are you using for quilting without the backing?
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon CeLynn, Your quilt is coming along a treat and I love the fact that it is so colourful. I have made a quilt as you go before, but mine had the backing attached, so like your other friends I am interested to know how you will quilt the back of the quilt.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes
