Please tell me what you would do!
Need to start quilting! This leopard fabric is soooooo stretchy - and besides that I can just do really easy stuff! What would you do?????

I would buy other fabric. This doesn't seem suited for quilting. Most quilter's use 100 percent cotton with a tight weave. Don't set yourself up for heartbreak. Especially if you are new to quilting.
But it you must quilt it. Starch it very stiff and this will help. Don't stretch it out of shape while you are ironing it. That would be a big mess after washing. |
Have you any old colored sheets or clothing, or anyway to get better fabric? Start by cutting 2 or 3 or 4 inch squares and get started just sewing into 4patches or 9 patches. Before you know it you will have a pretty good start. Do you have a place to get good cotton fabric?

Sorry ~ couldn't get it to add to original post! |
If you're going to do simple all-over quilting, could you turn it upside down and quilt it? In other words, quilt with the back-side up?

Glue the batting to the back and top so it won't stretch. Elmer's Washable School glue spread very thin with a paint brush will hold it in place perfectly.

Evidently I wasn't very clear~believe me, it has been one of those kind of mornings ~ besides not getting the danged picture to post........
How would you quilt this? Straight lines, some kind of curved lines (easy)?????? Everything that I have read says that all of those squares should have some rounded quilting in them????? The back is out of the same two fabrics...........in about 100 pieces! :) |
Great idea......but I have used the same two fabrics on the back!
|
Your quilt is beautiful.
