And the paisley motifs fills the space quickly!! I used a thick and fluffy polyester batting and I basted the quilt sandwich with adhesive spray, I like this basting method for small or medium size quilts. It's … [Read more...]

The last WIP for a while
I know I said no more new quilt tops until I finish the current UFO's! But I promise, this is the last one! Starting tomorrow, I will quilt them all!
