I'm beyond thrilled to have finished my "Modern Granny" quilt last week!! It's really the first time I've done anything even close to a whole cloth quilt, and am already planning another "whole cloth" quilt to make....
I decided the next quilt in line to finish, is my oldest UFO, "Fire Escape", a pattern by Atkinson Designs. I couldn't resist using Leah's "flame key" quilting design for this one. It's going to turn out nice!
On a final note, has anyone else noticed how thin commercial batting has gotten? I bought a few twin packaged battings from the local Jo-Anns fabric, when they were 50% off, and they were so incredibly thin when I spread them out that you could see the fabric through them. There were even spots that were practically holes. Boo.. The store is an hour away, so I just doubled the batting, using 2 bats instead of one. So much for the 50% off price! So far, so good quilting. I figure if there's not a thick-ish layer of batting in a quilt, that it's not even worth doing. It's frustrating though, and I think from now on, I'm going to be buying it in bulk so I can inspect it first...
Your quilting looks fantastic! Great choice for this quilt I think... Can't wait to see more of it.
