"Evil will triumph if good men...and women do nothing."
my adaptation of a quote by Edmund Burke.
What a fun quilt. I made this from men's denim shirtings and a denim duvet cover!
This should make a great stadium quilt for cold nights at the football/baseball games!
I quilted it in a freehand double/triple loop meander using Maxilock variegated thread on top and So Fine thread in the bobbin.
The Fifth Grade will get it real soon to start raffling to earn money for a field trip they are planning in May. I hope it raises lots of money for them.
I altered the pattern just a tad. Where the circles are...those were crosses in the original mystery pattern. The pattern was designed by Ann Smith of Quilt Talk, a yahoo group as a New Year's Eve Mystery. This is the fourth mystery of hers I have sewn. I meet with a friend every year for NYE, and we have a lot of fun sewing together.
This quilt is 80 x 92"...a nice size for a bed or just to toss in the vehicle for long trips.
The first you ask. Well, I haven't quilted a pantograph in a long time...and never Non Stitch Regulated..till now! I am pleased with the results of my efforts in non sr mode. For those who don't quilt...this won't mean much...but for those who do...this mode is generally scary as your stitches may not look uniform. I felt my quilting was smoother, faster and looked great considering the mode. I set the machine to 13 stitches and just went for it.
