The Big Block Quilt

Those are so pretty. I'm glad you showed a picture of the back with the quilting of minkee. I was wondering how that would turn out. I was leery about trying to quilt it because it stretches so much. Did you have a hard time with it at all?

I've been looking for something to make my DG a quilt. I have some fabric that's right up her alley, but I hate to cut it because it will ruin the pattern of the fabric. Thanks for posting it. I love your quilt!

I do not do my own quilting - wish that I were talented in that way. A LQS quilted it with FMQ leaves. Someone else has responded re. how difficult/easy it is to quilt on Minkee. I do know that it was more difficult to put the binding on because my pressure foot wanted to slide off the edge. However, I feel that it was worth the effort because I love the Minkee on the back. I found that I just had to stitch slower than normal and have a firm grip on both sides (above and below the pressure foot) of the fabric to keep a consistent seam.
Opps, and I just noticed, the backing picture that I posted is for another quilt that I did with the same fabric on the front and the same Minkee backing. The third quilt was actually quilted with medium meandering. I will post that other quilt at another time.
