I looks like a warm work of art. NICE
I don't know what you mean, not understanding you. Where there is pink thread, it's pink front and back. Where there is gray thread, it's gray front and back, however, when washed and "crinkly-quilty" and the batting fluffs a bit, ALL the threads will be pushed to the background and the design they made will show up. It probably won't shrink a great deal due to the amount of quilting in it that stabilizes it, but we'll see. This quilt calls for the fabrics and the log cabin design to be the star, not the thread, and the way I did that will accomplish it. My friend Angie quilts professionally and she uses only plain muslin for her backing. I thought this light rose print would be better.No doubt, it is lovely but the width size of less than 78 inches in width is concerning since it has not been preshrunk. Cotton does shrink And you were counting on it shrinking to give the lovely pucker it needs. You wrote, the threading in the back of the quilt where you told me the pink front threads can be seen in the gray threads in the solid fabric back. You said the threads would not show among the beautiful puckering. Which I love the puckered fabric of a quilt. It would not be just for Looks, it would be to use, a beautiful useable quilt. It is beautiful. Let's see what the measurements are after shrinkage.
I think the fabric is lovely and glad you explained the thread colors a bit more. The only thing I am concerned about is when it is laundred a couple of times, what would the width be then? It does not have to be axact in measurements bc we don't know exactly what the shrinkage will be. I have learned something in this process..
Make sure we are using the same rule of thumb. I think all the different measurements for bedding should be standardized, sort of like women's clothing. Your quilt is beautiful and I love the colors. Hopefully it will not shrink too much with warm water and warm heat in dryer on cotton. Love all colors and fabrics used. Always use all cotton on Bedding and towels, is there anything besides cotton? There are a couple of things I would do differently, like Not read comments at your fb site nor this site while it is being made. I think a ball park figure of what size in measurements would be extremely helpful. Instead of stating full for son and queen for mine. Lol, learned.
Your work is beautiful. Your able to handle a sewing machine with finesse. There is a lot of hand work in there!
