I finally finished a King sized quilt for our bed!! I liked the large size of the block in the pattern and the ability to use 2 fat quarters for each block. The size of the block made it perfect for doing king size. I decided to make it 4*4 for a total of 16 blocks. The only modification I made to the pattern was to make the sides an extra 2 inches on each side. The result is that the quilt is a little long, but the width is perfect. the quilt fits really well on our bed.
I did use the Longarm to quilt this quilt. It took about 8 hours to quilt the whole thing. I think it would have been too large to quilt on my domestic. This quilt definitely has my favorite quilting I've done so far!
Pattern: Swoon by Thimble Blossoms
Fabric: Background was Michael Miller couture midnight, other fabrics was a mixer of Anna Maria Horner and Alison Glass SunPrints 2017, among others.
Thread: Piecing Aurifil 50 wt., Quilting Glide cone
Batting: Quilters Dream 80/20 Poly/Cotton Blend
Backing: Tula Pink free fall
This Batting is my favorite so far! I'll definitely be using this again. However, I need to try some Wool options.
