Selecting the thread for quilting.
Used the gray on the lower left.
See "Many Steps to the Sewing Machine" for information about the making of this quilt. It is interesting to compare the first hand-quilted one with this one quilted on the longarm. Between the two, I prefer the look of the one quilted on the long arm. Mother worked hard to find a blue colored fabric that would be acceptable to Sally, that's what I remember about the making of the quilt--finding the perfect blue!
Size: 86" x 84" Queen-Bed Size

Backing: Blue print cotton from a JoAnn's sale. The fabric is printed to look like wrinkled denim.
