    Default Civil War Quilt finale

    Some of you requested the final quilting on the civil war quilt post seen here: Civil war quilt
    I used Crayola Ultra-Clean fine tipped markers in black with a stencil of fans by "Fun with Barb Designs".

    I put the last row on the back or I would have been short on the length of the backing I wanted to use. LOL

    What a great quilt! Your baptist fan quilting is lovely! Your use of a row to extend your backing is genius! Great job!

    That's lovely! how true to the period and the extra blocks to make the backing big enough look just right.

    I love your quilt! The muted colors look vintage and I just love seeing it. You did so well on your quilting too. Do you have a machine in a frame or like me have to move the quilt instead?

    Thank you for posting your photos of your work of art! So beautiful. I would like to try to use a quilting design like you did one day. Did you starch your fabrics first and then use the fine tip marker? I wasn't sure if it matters as to making sure the markers wash out.
