Grandson Nathanael's 'All Creatures Great & Small' quilt is all done. It measures 95" x 96". The animal prints and all of the green fabrics were from a quilt Nathanael's other late grandmother Bethany Wright had started but not quite completed. It was double-sided, so I took it apart and make two quilts from various parts of it -- this one, and the 'Heaven & Nature Sing' quilt for Nathanael's younger brother Levi.
After completing the central section, I imported a photo of it into EQ8 and there designed the rest of the quilt. The batting is Quilters' Dream Poly Deluxe. The thread on top is light tan 50-wt. So Fine!, and the bobbin thread is medium gray 60-wt. Bottom Line. The pantograph is 'Bears, Moose, & Pine Trees', and was quilted on my 18" Handi Quilter Avanté, which is hand-guided. The label was machine embroidered on my Bernina Artista 730.
The last two pictures are closeups of the binding. This is fabric Bethany had used on the quilt she was making. First shot is the front; second is the back. I put binding on by machine.
