Look at that nice fat roll on the takeup roller. Marilyn brought 3 quilts with one 150" piece of minkee backing. I had to load it perpendicular to how I normally load minkee but had no issues at all. And, because I only needed 1" between quilts, Marilyn didn't need to buy as much backing as she would have with 3 different pieces. All unfurled below....
As I mentioned in my previous post, I've been feeling in a quilting rut, so set out to use 3 new to me
Christina Cameli designs. I took inspiration from fabrics....this quilt below had bubbles in the fabric, and the border fabric felt water-y to me as well, so I used Effervescence from Christinas
Step by Step Free Motion quilting book. I was 3/4 of the way through the quilt when I look at my reference page again and realized I could have been quilting through the center of the bubbles....but I think it looks just fine like this.
This quilt also read as water to me--and there were fish in the fabrics--so I gave them some seaweed to live in and eat. Billow is the name on this design.
I like how it looks, however when stitching this design again I'll make sure the open spaces are smaller--narrower centers for the fronds
And these multicultural paper dolls? There are bubbles in the border fabric, so I went with bubbles. Christina calls this design Sylph.
This is of course the same soft yellow backing, but the photo isn't true.
