Progress is being made! I have one row of fans done on three outside edges.
They show up best on the back. I normally prefer much closer quilting, but I think it works on this utility quilt.
I was asked about the thread and needles I’m using here.
That is number 5 DMC perle cotton in Ecru. The needles are the correct size and type, but I wouldn’t recommend this brand.
Have a great day!

Love Baptist fan quilting! Perfect fit for this quilt top!
I really adore your quilting!! Baptist fan is so fun, so forgiving and makes such lovely texture…dresses up your quilt so much!
how do you start and end such a thick thread?
One of my favorite verses and I am seeing lately in so many places. At a shipping facility while mailing a package, was taped on a pole. The clerk was less then friendly, then I mentioned that the verse was a favorite, she perked right up. Our church was facing some challenges and we started our meeting with Jeremiah 29:11. On the quilting front, what needles do you recommend?
That’s such a pretty quilt – the colors are so calming. I like the use of the ecru thread, too. One of my favorite verses! Happy Sunday, Katy!
