Poe Nevermore Quilt
This is my third quilt and I think I'm finally getting the hang of getting my sashing right!
The fabric is from Michael Miller from the Nevermore collection and the pattern is available for free on equilter.com.
I altered the pattern just a bit to make the finished size 57" x 71" and switched the fabrics up from the original to a balance I found more appealing.
I decided to make this like an old quilt that my Grandmother made from the 1960s. The sandwiched layer is a thin muslin because the intended recipient lives in AZ and there isn't much need for a heavy blanket in Phoenix! I also chose, like my Grandmother, to not do any top stitching. Instead I tied the quilt every 6.5 inches. I love love love how cozy this blanket is with the tie method.
Can someone answer a question for me, please? Can you use the tie method with cotton batting like Warm & Natural? I know the package tells me that I can stitch as much as 10" apart but I'm not really sure what the definition of "stitch" is in this. Does that mean a single tie every 10" or less would be enough? Or does it mean something different? I appreciate your help! I'm very new to quilting and sometimes my internet searching skills fail me!
