The longarm quilting on my vintage embroidery quilt is still looking good. It's half way done!
Having zero issues with the longarm catching on the embroidery. ...and yes, a quilt that is done is better than one that is waiting to be quilted by hand. I just think this is bubbles giant template board was a great choice for this quilt. I was going to use the Baptist fan because it is a vintage quilt. I'm so glad I picked this one.
Although you can't see it in the photos, the center panel is just slightly yellowing from being a WIP so long. I need to research what to wash this quilt in to help it. Any suggestions?
Can't wait to see what it looks likes with the pre-printed hand quilting marking out of there. Yes, the feathers would have been beautiful with the lines as background filler. I'm just not there yet, and I didn't wait this quilt to have to wait forever. There will be other quilts to hand quilt when I retire and the quilt room has been moved to its real location (upstairs) of the house.
I got a little carried away last night and just kept going. The quilting is DONE!!
I only had time to take it off the frame and pose it for a quick photo. The troops were hungry.
