Slow Stitching

Posted on June 10, 2018 by katyquilts

I basted my little quilt on Friday.

I wanted to use this feed sack for the back, but it had obvious damage.

So I cut out the damaged part and sewed it back together.

I love the way the quilting looks on it!

I used a silver marking pencil to mark the Baptist Fans. I’m using smaller fans this time. But I am adding an additional arc between each of the marked arcs.

I should be able to get much of the quilting done while traveling.

Have a great day!

    Great idea for using the feedsack. The quilt reminds me of my childhood.

    I would love to know where you find all your feedsacks. I never see any in my travels. Your little quilt looks great!

    Another cute little quilt. I’ve never come across feed sacks; how fun that you have them and use them this way!

    Old feed sacks have such think threads in their weave, almost canvas like. Is this harder to hand quilt?
