Here I am looking at this quilt block, which sooner or later will be a twin size quilt, and I am stumped on how I shall quilt it. Looking for suggestions, and also has anyone out there used the fusiable batting? Am considering that as an option, tho I've never used it. Thinking it might help me keep things under control, as far as the backing and keeping it taunt. This will be the largest quilt that I will be trying to machine quilt, and am a little nervous to start it, but gonna tackle it anyway.

Love your quilt. Maybe a free motion stippleing with monofillament thread so not to distract from your design.

i have some fusible batting, used it once for a tote bag, did not like it, because of the requirement to use a wet pressing cloth and keep the heat on each spot so long. Too much trouble!!

I use spray basting instead.

Or, I saw on a blog that someone uses MistyFuse which does not require so much heat, it seems.

Very pretty quilt. I agree with Leslie-fusible was difficult to use on a table runner for me. I don't know how you would do a large quilt and keep the heat and moisture even. My backing fabric didn't adhere until I turned the runner over and repeated the whole process again. I still had a few "lumps" in the backing. I thought it was stiff to quilt through also. I use spray basting and a few pins and have much better results. Good luck and look forward to seeing your finished quilt.

How big is it going to be?

Well, you sure answered my question quick, I will not be buying the fusable batting. I will try the spray basting, will spray basting last the whole time that a person will quilt this over a period of time?

GrandmaJeanne

The quilt says it will be 50x62 with the borders.

The spray basting will last for years:) I know from experience! Have you seen the video of the basting using the wall? It's neat :)

Lost me here---never heard of this.
