Woo hoo! I finished the king sized quilt for my boy, Andrew.

I machine quilted it in 3 sections. All the quilting is done vertically to make it manageable on a home machine. Here is how I set up to attach the right and left sections.

I use a portable ironing board and fusible tape.

I just work slowing, moving down the length of the quilt.

For those of you on IG you know I had a problem with the crayola markers - again! Some but not all of the red markings didn't not come out. I did an overnight soak again in Dawn and it worked - yay

Here is a little tip: turn your binding clips around; they work perfectly this way. Maybe this is how I was always supposed to do it. Is this how you use them?

Finally, I attach left over strips to frame it. The sail number is his Birthday :)

After moving some furniture I was able to block it with a few fans going. It took about 3 days!
How I label my quilts:
This time I sketched some ideas on paper first.
I also use PDF (prepared for dyeing) fabric. It absorbs the ink better and makes a nice clear label.
Thank you Pinkadot Kelly for the fabulous vintage little quilt and other fun goodies for my recent Birthday. I've never seen some of these fabrics before. I plan to hand quilt it.
I adore this Lancaster, PA map print and that sweet card is made from a real vintage card.
Fabric APB!
Does anyone have a 1/2 yard of this double pink? I'm happy to pay or trade for it.
I recently discovered this peachy fizzy soda. It is refreshing on a hot day, but I do not recommend riding your bike this way.
Have a great week!
