This was surely the hardest I’ve ever struggled with a quilt, and a clear indication that old age is creeping up on me. Seeing black thread on black fabric was nearly impossible (for me). I tried every trick in the book, bright sunlight, artificial light, very little light and after unpicking 4 days more than I actually quilted, I decided to simply do the best I could. Spending almost 2 weeks only doing the parts in black thread was not my intention. Luckily, with every advance, I knew it couldn’t get any worse.
This quilt maker also did something special with her backing, as the quilt will travel all the way to her kids in Australia.
