I told you all that you were going to get sick of me posting finishes eventually LOL! Well, here is another quilting skeleton done and bound and already wrapped around one of my children - yey!!
Here is the tumbler quilt that I cut out almost a year ago! I cut the tumblers out, using my Accuquilt Go! in October of 2010 but then I got a little side-lined ;-) I put the top together in February but then it just stayed as it was until now.
I pulled out the top and loaded it onto my frame and it was quilted in no time!
I used a 30 weight cotton Sulky Blendable thread in a variegated colour range top and bobbin and quilted the quilt quite loosely so that the brushed cottons would remain soft and cuddly. It is a simple meander with loops added in for a bit of variety. Again, since this is a throw I didn't want heavy quilting - I wanted this quilt soft.
Tomorrow I teach an Intro to Machine Quilting and that is always lots of fun!
Any quilty plans for the weekend?

Your tumbler quilt is lovely... and how cool it was claimed immediately!

That is one quilt that is one my wish list. You are doing so well getting all those quilt tops quilted since you got your frame. I am still waiting for my girlfriends.
This is so cute! I have a bunch of large tumblers cut already (I understand the getting sidelined!), I think I'll have to move these to the front burner and make mine up soon ~ You've inspired me :)
What a great quilt. I love tumblers too and the Accuquilt makes it so easy!
