Cop Quilt Still Working It
You can see the first 2 posts about Matthew's Cop Quilt at
Virtual Quilting Weekend--Sept 2-5, 2022
and I have been working on it along the way. I began looking at more cop jobs for some reason and found a 'copter and speed boat under free coloring pages. I will be able to change both to the colors I like best for each item.
I've decided to make the backing a cop uniform dark navy blue, a boarder around each block in white and the back a sheriff tan. I'm also going to put 2 layers of 100% cotton batting to give each figure/object more puff like the old day quilts had so we were snuggly warm. I will be quilting around each figure/object and then do a tie-off of the quilt as I can tie it off on the hoop easier than quilting it. I do not have quilting frames nor a long arm machine.
