Chris’ Wedding Signature Quilt

Feb 8

Chris made this beautiful quilt for her daughter and son in-law, who got married last fall.

She used a block from a sampler quilt, that she’s done in the past. This is one of the most beautiful signature quilts that I’ve seen!!

These soft pretty colors, were her daughters wedding colors.

I used my favorite Winline 8020 cotton poly blend batting and Dyed Natural 30 tex A&E Perma Core thread. A hint of cream, was the prefect thread color, to blend so nicely.

Chris picked Marci Gore’s Orange Peel design for the quilting. It’s a great design, quilting out an entire row all at once. Lines up pretty great. Sometimes there are spots here or there, that don’t...so I have a couple quick tips, in the video below, on how to deal with designs that don’t line up the best when computerized quilting.

Sometimes it’s the little tips that make everything look this beautiful...I love this design.

Yes. That is navy minky/cuddle on the backing from Shannon Fabrics. It comes in 90” wide...you have no idea how grateful I am as a quilter, that they offer this length. I certainly quilt a lot less pieces minky, which makes me sooo happy!
