Queen Size Quilt Sandwich
Hello Everyone,
I thought some of you folks would be able to give me some input on this. I am getting ready to baste together a queen size quilt for my son and daughter in law. It will be for a little tear drop camper is almost has completed.
The top fabric is a good quality 100% cotton, and the backing is a anti-pill fleece which is what they wanted. I also have the queen size batting that is the Mountain Mist, soft, medium loft , 100% polyester.
Will these three parts be too much? I will be quilting this queen size on my regular Brother machine with the short neck. Yes, I know, it will be a real challenge. He wants it all made by me so I won't be sending it off anywhere.
The top I cut in 10" squares and sewed them together for a solid color top, and the back will be sewn together as needed also with the two large pieces of the fleece to make it work too. It will be the other solid color they wanted, and then they want it to turn over wide onto the front for the binding.
I will be adding one of the fabric license plates that says Tennessee on it to put on the back. Tennessee is where we all live, and where he is building his tear drop so that makes sense.
Also, with the whole top being his chosen color of lime green, and the fleece backing being his chosen color of a rich medium blue, what color thread do you all think would be the prettiest for the top quilting? I can either quilt the top with the same lime green thread or use the color blue like the back is to quilt the top and have it enhance.
When I go around bringing over the back fleece to the top to form the binding after it is sewn, I want to then use a fancy stitch around it to look pretty. He wants me to embroider my name on some part of the binding on the front. I will add their name too, and the date.
I am so sorry for all these questions. I didn't plan on putting all this on here, but decided to give you the picture of it through my words and see what you all think.
Many of you are so much more experienced than me.
I have quilted a full size quilt on my short home machine, and got through it. I bought some special quilting needles for my machine to do this one.
Thank you!!!
