Of course before I could put it on the frame, it had to become a top. I finished the top Monday after locating more the same black fabric and ordering it for the binding. The top now measures 50 x 60.
Before loading the top, I cleaned up all the batting scraps from the whirlwind of quilting that’s taken place around her – mostly by my sister. The batting has been measured and neatly folded to become frankenbatts in the future. I have a bag of scraps which I’ll eventually cut into 2-1/2″ strips for rugs and the smaller scraps were cut up to eventually go into a pet bed. I made a frankenbatt for Cascade then loaded it on the machine.
This picture was taken earlier this week. I’ve decided to do continuous curves inside the diamonds and in the border where I have it marked. In the background I’ll do something circular. I’ve ordered the Big HQ Swiss Cheese Template as I’m thinking bubbles. We’ll see if I can pull it off.
