Rob Peter to Pay Paul Quilt

I finished the Rob Peter to Pay Paul quilt today. This was a quilt top I pieced almost 2 years ago - it is a 'stash buster' quilt using all kinds of scraps of Asian fabric I had. I cut it out with the GO! cutter.

I free motion quilted double continuous curves in the concave squares, and open heart feathers in the arcs. The batting is Hobbs Heirloom Wool. I used 50Wt cotton thread with a #80 regular needle for the quilting.

The backing is 'Plush' - a polyester backing. It is incredibly soft and light. I like how on the back you can't see the thread, just the design - I can see why people make whole cloth quilts with minky.

After washing the quilt came out all lovely and 'krinkly' - I think it might have to do with the backing because I washed the quilt I made last week the same way and it didn't shrink at all (it had wool batting as well, with flannel backing I had pre-washed).

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!♥
