I had an idea of how I wanted to quilt Karen’s Sparrow quilt as soon as I saw it…which also gave me an excuse to add some new pantographs to my collection!
Nebula has movement galore, and as I had visioned turned out to be a perfect fit! Using a 60 weight thread in silver caused the quilting to take back stage from the piecing, it shows up clearly over the dark background fabric but not in an overpowering way that a 40 weight thread would have.
Karen’s choice of backing fabric was so perfect with the subtle addition of bird tracks over the robins egg blue colour.
Karen’s quilt left my studio trimmed and ready for binding and soon to be gifted!
