Joyce sent this to Cole for LAQ>
She made it for a man and thought it would be appropriate for a male to quilt it! I love that! What a loving gesture.

I love the back as much as the front ...two quilts in one!

Beautiful piecing....beautiful quilt!

I think Cole used a 40 weight cotton thread..I can't really remember...he pulled out a beige colored thread and said "Will this look good MOm?..."yep"

We used Hobbs poly down batting ....Cole quilted this on an 18 INNOVA>

Thanks for looking.

Blessings.

Awesome job Cole...I know lots of guys who would love it

Beautiful quilt! Your son Cole is getting as good as his Mom!! Awesome job on the quilting.

Charisma,

I notice you use Hobbs Poly Down a lot. Why do you like it over other batting?

What a great job!

Great Job Cole!

I would like to know: how many bobbins did it take to do this quilt. assuming your long arm uses standard bobbins.
I have a mid arm machine and most often use 10 or more bobbins. Just curious because there is a lot of stitching.
I also learned that all that thread also increases the weight of the quilt. We learn a lot when we go to mid and long arm machines. Lots of thread...and lots of time.
But it beats the other methods.

HI June,
I actually don't have an idea...my son did the quilt..I would guess two.....we use the pre-wound super bob bobbins they are class "M" ( I believe) the extra wide ones...that most long arms use.

I hope that helps. I rarely have to use 10 bobbins...unless it's a huge quilt with pebbling, and really tight quilting where you lay lots of thread down.....
Blessings
