Aunt Linda’s Mountain Quilt

The Running Bunny

Aunt Linda made a quilt like Mother enjoys making. See Quid Pro Quo from March 2020 and the earlier quilts that Mother made. This quilt quilted easily.
  • 74 1/2" x 85" Regular bed size
  • Quilting: Quilted in a medium tight stipple. All quilting free form. Used soft green 100% polyester thread (Omni from Superior Threads-named "Beach Grass").  9 bobbins. Quilting by Patty. Set in triangles had bias side where they should have had straight side along the outside edge, so I had to be extra careful with the quilting. One seam had come apart and the resulting hole “ate” the long arm foot. It was very time consuming to get it out, but I did and the hole can be easily repaired.
  • Backing: Pieced green polka dot print, very pretty!
  • Batting: 100% cotton “Warm and Natural”.
  • Binding: To be done by Aunt Linda.
  • Pattern: Inspired by “Spice Market" by Vicky Wozniak from a McCall's advertisement.  
  • Piecing by Aunt Linda
  • Pinned into frame October 14, 2020. Quilting on long arm quilter October 14-15, 2020. (Patty). 
  • Binding by Aunt Linda. 
  • QC by Patty
