Thread basting and marking to prepare for machine quilting. I remember now how much I love making quilts. The many steps and different techniques along the way. Taking the time to get it right but not aiming for perfection. The opportunity for quiet reflections. The feel of a quilt coming together is so rewarding. I am grateful to be able to create! This is king size, with 8 inch finished blocks, placed 12 by 14 for a total of 168 blocks. Should be 96 x 112 inches. Warm and natural cotton batting and solid 108 inch wide cotton backing. It is a bit of a beast to move around. Thank goodness for my upper body workouts.
