QUILTING WITH A MINKY BACKING


My friend and customer, Andrea, dropped off a quilt yesterday, and I started quilting right away.  The backing was Minky, which is a slightly furry fabric that makes a really soft and warm quilt back.

Andrea picked out the quilting design called "Holly's Hearts" and it looks really great on the quilt!


























Andrea decided on a variegated thread in primary colors for the top thread and a variegated thread in pastels for the back.  The Minky is so fluffy that you can barely see the thread itself, although the pattern really stands out!



































This quilt measures 60" by 60" and the fee for the quilting was less than $60.  What a deal!
