In my head I call this my Miami Vice quilt because of the colour palette. Once upon a time I bought some Oakshott shot cottons but when they turned up I was never really in love with the colours. First I tried some hexies:
But I wasn't really feeling the love. So everything went into the cupboard until I saw this quilt over at Red Pepper Quilts. I like the way the colours look together now, so as far as the top goes, it is a happy outcome.
I am tempted to back the quilt with this lovely fabric but its voile. Which gives me the fear. Big time.
Will a can of 505 basting spray and a million pins do the the trick? Or is it going to slip and slide and cause a lot of bad words around the place?? Adrianne told me that she backed a quilt with voile and that it went together ok. Mmmm. Will keep you posted.
Love the quilt top.
ReplyDeleteA lovely quilt. 505 should do the trick
ReplyDeleteThat is very soft and pretty. Good luck with the voile. Have never sewn with voile so no tips, sorry.
ReplyDeletei think voile backing would be lovely. I've found it quite tricky but I'm not very good! try starch as well?
