Assembly was great, I'm not an experienced quilter, and this was a great project for me to work on my skills. I made a pretty simple back.
Then decided to do 1" lines over the top. I thought about fancier quilting options, but since the colors are pretty involved, simple quilting seemed like a better option. This time around I used spray adhesive to baste. WOW, what a great idea that stuff is. This is by far the nicest thing I've quilted.
I have washed and dried the quilt. I was SO nervous about colors bleeding. It just didn't happen. I used a Shout Color Catcher, which came out white. It is all crinkly, soft and quilty now. I could not be more pleased!
For my next project, I am going to attempt to make a quilt w/o using 5 sheets of graph paper and lots of designing. I'm going to feel out the fabric and see what happens. Stay Tuned!
