Mother made this quilt for her granddaughter. She found the pattern in a Fons and Porter magazine. It was quite a challenging pattern. I have never used this many bobbins for the quilting.
Size: 99" x 99" Queen-Bed Size
Quilting: Swirly, flowery, meandering design based on the quilting pattern in the magazine. Used off-white polyester thread (Omni from Superior Threads-named "Pearl White"). Quilting pattern reminds me somewhat of orchid flowers. Free form quilting. 21 bobbins. I've never used this many bobbins on a quilt.
Backing: Medium-blue cotton print with a stylized flower in darker blue. Wide (108") cotton made for quilt backs. Purchased from a fabric.com sale.
Batting: 100% Bamboo
Binding: Blue cotton print from a recent JoAnn's sale
Pattern: From a Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting magazine May/June 2013, Emily's Wedding Quilt by Liz Porter.
