Camping quilt
 
3 Attachment(s)
I made this quilt for my RV. To curl up and read with. The fabric is camping related prints. I did the quilting on my home machine using painters tape to keep the lines even.

That blue tape is so handy. Use it when I machine stitch my table toppers. Invaluable!!

Very cool. Painter's tape is a good idea.

Great job on the quilt! I never would have thought of painter's tape, thanks for the tip.

helou 07-06-2013 05:08 PM

very nice!
what color of thread did you use? It seem white or light on the back, but on the front side with the different color fabrics you used, it does seem to blend well with the red, the green or the blue color. did you use invisible thread?

I really like the quilt. My sisters camp a lot and I often thought of making them quilts for Christmas for their campers... you have inspired me. So when you say you used painter's tape, help me understand. You covered the quilt the strips of tape?

Love your quilt! You did a great job with the quilting.

thank you very much for your answer.... I am machine quilting for the first time, a reversible big quilt with different color in it... it is not my first choice but I can not handquilt anymore for now because of very painful thumb and I sincerely like your choice of thread!!!

Cool! This will help me staying in the "picture" when creating my art quilt pieces! Fantastic! Even though I don't see many art quilts here, this little tip helps me!

And thank you also Tesspug!

I like this , I use the painters tape for a lot of sewing helper.

Taughtby Grandma 07-08-2013 04:51 AM

I like the pattern, looks like it went together pretty quickly. That's always fun so you can go on to the next one.

Jingle 07-08-2013 04:58 AM

Very pretty, sounds perfect for your RV.

psailer 07-08-2013 05:02 AM

this is really cute and sounds so inviting just to sit down and read a book and relax.. now I think I might need a vacation....lol

lindyb 07-08-2013 05:12 AM

Nice quilt! I wonder though, when you quilt long lines across a quilt like that, do you sew in one direction, then sew the next line back across the quilt in the opposite direction? Do you actually sew each line one beside the other as you go or perhaps sew a few lines more widely spaced and then fill in the rest between? Not very experienced at this as you can tell, any advice appreciated.

Rivercity 07-08-2013 05:15 AM

What a fun quilt. Looks very cozy!

runswithscissors 07-08-2013 05:34 AM
