The second stash-buster quilt is finished. Another triangle quilt, this time pink. I have one more blue one to finish, then we'll move on to something new.
Layering happens like this:
I put the backing fabric on the tiled floor and stick it down with masking-tape.
I then add the "batting". For these quilts I used fleece blankets. They are the perfect size, not to thick.. and very affordable.
The pieced layer comes on top. When everything is smoothed down, I secure the three layers together with quilting safety-pins.
When everything is secured, I cut off the excess backing. I leave a 5-10cm margin to accommodate any crawling.
The finished quilt. I used straight stitching this time. It went a lot faster, but I had more 'crawling' in the fabric.
I will try something new next time.
Some more IKEA backing.
