This turned out to be a very nice quilt. I used two layers of Natural Warmth batting which has added that weightiness that I love so much with my grandmothers quilts.
It did not quite turn out to be a twin sized. Its lacking about 5"-6" all the way around.
I also had a few issues with my tension on my machine that was very noticeable before I washed it. I was going to show those on this post. My conclusion was that I was just not good at machine quilting large items and would hand quilt from now on. However, after washing it and a low heat tumble dry, you could not tell it at all.
I also finally got the plus quilt pieced together. Now, just have to decide on a backing and binding fabrics.
Great progress! I've never doubled up batt for a quilt before. I can't tell - did you do free motion or use a walking foot? And your plus quilt pic is very cool!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilts. So glad that the tension issue disappeared when the quilt was washed.
