and now it will go to a framing shop.
I used silk thread to do the quilting and just echoed the shapes.
I like the way it came out.
At first, I tried a Sulky Bobbin Lt., but I could not control the tension.
I found that a simple Aurifil 50 wt. cotton thread worked best in the bobbin.
I love the way a muslin backing looks when quilted.
Now to get back to those pink and black HST units.
Happy Spring!
Breathtaking!
