This week I received a little I-spy quilt to free-motion and
I loved the fact that the quilter brought a proper cotton backing although some
blocks were made from polyester fabric which caused a little puffing in some squares.
The quilt was however made by a scholar and I think it went more about finding
interesting pictures than the type of material used.
I used a light grey thread to quilt overall, doing ribbon
candy around every block. For the centre
of the blocks, I simply outlined the picture in every block.
For the border, I changed to a red thread as the grey stood out
too much and did all-over loops. This was also
the first time a quilter requested I do the binding but I am not sure I’d like
to do it again. I would rather use all my
time doing FMQ.
The overall quilt measured 50” x 60”
