A beautiful chic quilt featuring Amy Butler's Gypsy Caravan, cut with the large Accuquilt tumbler die. 12 tumblers across by 12 rows down with a 3" border on the sides in matching periwinkle.
Binding in periwinkle and backed with vanilla dimple dot minky. The middle layer is JoAnn's bleached muslin, prewashed and all layers spray basted. I usually pin and spray baste - but had success with spray basting only and ironing the layers together, pressing on the cotton top portion and totally avoiding the minkey - it melts!
Quilting was a smaller broken zig zag going across the rows and following the tumbler shapes from top to bottom.
I used Aurifil beige 50 wt. for both the top and bottom with a No. 12 universal needle and it was smooth and consistent. Size: 57 x 71" April 2014
Absolutely gorgeous. I love it. Thanks for sharing.
