Quilting Itch IV: Threads and more threads....

The downside of so many bits of fabric is the fraying, and when there are so many fraying threads showing through to the front of the quilt. They have to go.  All of them.  They all have to be snipped off...

But even by my standards...that's a lot of loose ends.

Oh well...onwards and upwards...time to think about quilting patterns and even get around to drawing some, well tracing some onto the quilt...

 

After tracing comes sandwich making.  Starting with measuring precisely how much wadding is needed for the filling...

I love this bit of the quilting process.  I get to move all the furniture out of the dining room and spread out... there's lots of fabric needs spreading out...

I can't help but think that the wadding looks like a blanket of snow across the floor...

But not for long...

So now its on with the quilting...

 

And that brings me right back full circle...because this much quilting means this many loose ends needs snipping...

 

There, that's better.  Nice and tidy now.
