I had a grand time custom quilting the Cat Folk quilt on my Janome sit-down machine. I didn't pre-plan the quilting but addressed each element as I worked. It has plenty of quilting, but I didn't QITD as I am prone to do.
You may recall, I initially began with the center block coming from a pillow panel. I thought it wouldn't appeal to most folks, (I gift most of my quilts away) so I thought it would need to be a miniature to use as a wall hanging. Well, silly me, it grew to 74 x 86.
I used several Accuquilt dies to help me with design elements. The stitching down of appliques took alot of time but I love how it turned out.
I used cotton batting and a cream So Fine thread, Aqua Glide thread and a light brown Omni thread. I neglected to get a photo of the back. I used a wide backing from Kansas Troubles by Moda. It is now patiently waiting for me to hand stitch the binding down. I love the colors, all from stash, I may keep it around for awhile.
