Batting:
I love a good scrap buster quilt and similarly enjoy combining color and low volume prints. This quilt was the best of both those worlds! Here the fabric - the various prints and the colors - do all the work, and the quilt design, while fun and interesting, is secondary to the overall presentation of the quilt. This quilt feels very "me" and choosing fabrics from stash was intuitive. It doesn't always flow this easily and without hesitation.
The quilt has been quilted with straight vertical lines only. The lines are spaced one inch apart and I have used a quilting guide attached to the walking foot to assist with keeping my lines nice and straight (by running the guide along the seam lines and previous quilting lines). I very rarely mark quilting lines on the quilt. Supporting the quilt well during the quilting process is key and I am fortunate to have a large sewing cabinet into which my sewing machine lowers to ensure that I have a large flat working surface.
For the back of the quilt I have used a small scale floral fabric - Meadow in Summer - from the Best of Sarah Jane collection for Michael Miller. This is such a pretty floral fabric and complements the soft color palette of the quilt perfectly.
This quilt is available for purchase from my Etsy Store.
