    Andrea, Do you sew the 45" width fabric together to make a whole cloth? Elizabeth

    I use "regular" quilt solids with 44" width. Unfortunately the wide fabrics for backings that we can purchase here don't have the quality I want for my quilts and only very few colors.
    I try to find a fabric that has a high thread count like 75. The P&B brand is great for me, also the Moda Bella Solids.

    Elizabeth,
    I don't use a zig-zag stitch for cross hatching, the direction I follow the quilting lines is zig zag. Here is a little sketch, I hope that helps to make it clear.

    Yes, I sew the length together by hand.

    sorry if this has already been asked and I missed it- is this your own design, or do you have a pattern?
