I finished the quilting and beading on my colour burst quilt yesterday. I even got out the monofilament nylon thread again for the first time in ages. There were too many large areas where the sandwich wasn’t sewn together and after trying some quilting with sewing thread I went back to the invisible thread as I really only wanted the quilting but not the visibility on the quilt top. I am quite pleased with the results:
Now I have to decide how to finish off the edge. I am toying with the idea of just folding over the extra backing and sewing it down on the front. If I do a traditional binding I would use the same material as the backing as I think the colour gives a good border to the quilt. I shall pin the backing down on the front and see what I feel before making a decision.
It’s absolutely stunning!
Great work.
