Today I put the finishing touches on the Spring Quilt. The binding fabric is Amy Butler's Full Moon Polka Dot in Slate.
I am very happy with the end result. I find the quilting usually the most challenging, but this time it all went relatively easily. Although, I must admit, I did bond with my quick-unpick (seam ripper) for some of the quilting lines.
I also wanted to show you the gloves that I use for quilting. I did a machine quilting class with Deborah Louie late last year, and she highly recommended these gloves. Not only are they an absolute dream to quilt with, but they are cheap and available from the local supermarket. These gloves give you a really good grip which makes it so much easier to guide the quilt as you are sewing.
They are called Ansell's HyFlex Multi-Purpose Gloves and are made from a breathable and stretchy material. The palm is coated with foamed latex for extra grip. They retail for just over $5.00AUD at the local grocery store. Bargain!
