When our cousins came to visit in October we made a whole cloth baby quilt so they could try long arming. The material for the front was bought at a red tag JoAnn's sale. The back is a dotted flannel print, also purchased at a JoAnn's sale.
Eric selected a bright red thread which I think worked very well. Everyone gave long arming a try, even Paul. The children were quite good and followed instructions very well.
Size: 44"x54"
Quilting: Many different styles based on what they wanted to try. Everyone attempted to "write" their name with quilting. Eric attempted a Pokemon character. Used bright red polyester thread (Omni from Superior Threads-named). Free form quilting. 5 bobbins.
Backing: White flannel printed with blue dots Purchased from a JoAnn's sale. Binding by mother. QC by Spencer. Location:County Line Quilrs
Batting: 100% Cotton
Binding: Back brought around to the front for binding
Pattern: Whole-cloth
This quilt along with several others we made in 2013 were donated to Redwood High School for the babies of students. We received a very nice thank-you note from a teacher at the school.
