Late this afternoon I finished quilting my friend's quilt. It measures 103" x 104". She supplied the batting, which is a thin, soft, and luxurious cotton. I used medium pink Mettler 50-wt. polyester thread on top, and medium pink Aurifil 50-wt. cotton thread in the bobbin. The pantograph is an intense and detailed one called 'Bouquet', by Hermione Agee. It's 11" wide, and took 33 minutes and 33 seconds for one pass across this quilt. My machine is an 18" Handi Quilter Avanté, and is hand-guided, as opposed to computer-driven. The backing is white.
