And the answer is…..NO! I cannot quilt only one fan per day. Quilting is addictive. Sigh…..
Anyway, I have a finished quilt to show for it. It is small, only about 53” square.

I used these for marking my fans. You can read about my experiment with these here.

You can see in the next photo that I hadn’t washed it yet.

I also used a blue/gray quilting thread from YLI.

I bought a box of various colors of this at an estate sale a few months ago. I had never used it before, but now I will! I love this stuff!

And here are the after washing photos. The marks completely washed out. Love that texture!

Sigh…..so lovely!

I used Hobbs 80/20 batting this time. It was what I had on hand. I don’t usually use anything with poly in it when quilting a vintage top. But it did turn out beautifully and it is very soft and snuggly.




Of course, I’m already trying to decide what I will hand quilt next.
Have a great day!
That is a gorgeous quilt and I love the quilting on it too. I use kids washable markers for marking too.
Beautiful quilt finish, love the fabrics and hand quilting. So nicely done.
beautiful job. lovely quilt. have always liked that block. you are giving these older tops so much love. i’m sure they would thank you if they could. i have used the crayola washable markers with great success. i have a friend who swears by the green flair pen (only the green). patti in florida
I love everything about this quilt..everything!
It IS a beauty! Good job, and good to know about the markers. Thanks!
I’ve always loved the rolling stone design but haven’t made one yet. Yours is beautiful! The fabrics you chose makes it look very vintage.
The colourbalance is very nice, and so is the handquiling! What a pitty i am living so far away!. Love Anneke
