I did a lot of experimentation on this one. The batting is a goodwill wool blanket my DH picked up for like $3. Then I put a layer of hobbs polydown on top of that to give the quilting definition. This one is definitely gonna be warm! It is quilted entirely with Invisifil thread a 100 wt polyester thread that handles like silk. Freehand and ruler work, golden threads paper were the techniques I used. I had a hard time narrowing down what pictures to share. Quilted on my Innova longarm.

The whole quilt and some selected block closeups.

Another tattoo. If I did this over I would leave the gecko unquilted and do heavy background fill to get him to pop up off the surface.

As always I eagerly anticipate your comments. Even if you don't like I want to hear because then I can better cater my quilting to other tastes.


What's not to like~~~ It's a really cool quilt....Even if you don't like different blocks, I do, the quilting is wonderful....Wish you were closer...I would send you my tops in a heart beat~~~
