Having finished 2 UFO’s this year and completing an Australian quilt for my youngest daughter, I decided I would like to make a wholecloth quilt. Being a machine quilter this is one of my greatest passions.
I selected some beautiful shot cotton from my stash, this fabric was given to me by my friend Phil Thomas several years ago and I love it. The photograph below does not do it justice. First of all I had to mark the quilt.
I have chosen to use a repeating medallion design which I drew up myself last year with a view to making a wholecloth quilt.
You will see 2 different designs in the medallion and each will be used separately in the quilt. My goal for today was to mark and baste the quilt which I managed. My next goal is to select thread and quilt the major lines. More to follow in a few days.
This is going to be lovely Sheila, can’t wait to see it
Thanks Megan, I’m looking forward to quilting it. I will be using the Line Tamer, Op Curve and Westalee Circles on Circles rulers.
Sensational Sheila. Post lots of updates as you go.
Thanks Meg, selecting thread today, I think I will put glide through the needle and may use it in the bobbin. Not sure how machine will handle that as I usually use So Fine in the bobbin
