Love Drops

[urban-quilter.livejournal.com]

I've been working on some of my old WIPs recently, and finally got around to quilting a confetti quilt I called "Love Drops"





This quilt was made using some of my red scraps from a former quilt called "Saucy Divo" (a completely red quilt whose interest came from the various textures in the fabrics), minky on the borders and a thrifted red check and swapped red and white polka dot fabric for the back. The binding was some scrap red silk taffetta.

This was intended as a winter quilt in a Northern Climate's winter, so I used a double layer of batting on this queen sized quilt. The millions of seams plus the double thickness of batting made this quite a bear to quilt - I had a hard time shoving it through my little Singer and I think I went through a gross or two of needles before I finally switched to leather needles instead of quilting ones, at which point things went more smoothly.



I only have a pic of the unfinished back because I finished this in the wee hours this morning and haven't clipped threads yet!



This quilt is warm and heavy and utterly delightful. :)
