Sandwiching baby quilt |
Pattern:
In my continuing search for vintage quilt patterns and applique pieces, I find interesting design and color choice inspiration for quilts.
I made a plastic template from a vintage fabric butterfly I had found years ago.
Sandwiching
My sandwiching method includes: washing and drying the hard wood floor; taping the backing fabric to the floor; smoothing the batting on the backing fabric; smoothing the quilt top and safety pinning in place.
Quilting Plan:
Hand quilting with matching thread
Butterflies: outline and 1/4" echo in muslin, 1/4" inside the butterfly
Yellow squares: 2" crosshatching in yellow thread
Border: 2" piano keys around quilt
