Re: Super Mario Bros Quilt
It looks great! I'm looking forward to seeing how you quilt it - are you doing straight lines or a pattern?

Yay! Congrats! Always a great feeling.Xanatos wrote:Yup all solids (homespun and shadow play). Given it's 6,503 pieces I figured anything patterned would make the quilt waaaaaaaaay to busy to look at.
In other news it's ready to be quilted!
Did you make it the way they suggested on the back, with the fusible background? I've seen that technique, never tried it, and am intrigued.

Re: Super Mario Bros Quilt
No - it's $12/m for the stuff here and it would have made the quilt way to expensive for my budget. The technique seems to be the same as foundation piecing though. I have used foundation piecing before, just not with a wash-away product.LucyInTheSky wrote:

Continuous pattern - something quite open in design to contrast with the small fabric pieces used in the blocks. Nothing intricate to take away from the design though.lcockitt wrote:It looks great! I'm looking forward to seeing how you quilt it - are you doing straight lines or a pattern?
