Dear granddaughter received a duvet cover for Christmas
and DIL asked me to bat and quilt this.
With my shoulder acting up, I only got around to it now and it was the
worst fabric ever, very silk-like polyester.
When I quilt, I use a Topstitch 90 needle and I was worried that it
would be too thick for the fabric but it worked like magic.
The problem was that the front and back was cut so skew
that there was no way the two would lay flat on each other. So I knew I would
have puckers. I then simply decided to
at least keep the front fairly pucker free and not break my neck about what
happens on the back.
Being an under the sea theme I had to decide which quilt
pattern I’d like to stitch out on it and at first thought of doing wavy lines
but then I remembered these circles and they reminded me of bubbles, so I went
with the circles.
The fabric also has a stretch to it which caused little
bubbles in between the quilting lines but not much I could do about it.
