I finished my Marimekko quilt top and need advise!
I finally finished my Marimekko quilt top. I chose the HST block method for my corners. They are very imperfect, but so am I. lol It ended up being 96x96.
This is the biggest quilt I have done and the Marimekko fabric is not extremely lightweight or soft. I ordered the silk batting and I hope I can squeeze the quilt sandwich in my Husqvarna Opal sewing machine. I wanted to try my luck at FMQ the loops and hearts in the picture. Should I do this all over or mix with stitch in the ditch or another FMQ? I need help deciding what to do?
I need advise on my quilt backing. I wanted the softest available, but the minky is only 90 inches, so I would have to piece it. I ordered a sample and it is absolutely yummy soft and lightweight. The other choices are cottons. I love the amethyst blender. Both the cottons are 106 inches, so I wouldn't have to piece it.
What do you think?
