Patchwork Sampler

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

23 Bobbins Later

The quilting is finished.  Yep, I used 23 bobbins on this quilt.  My machine uses the smaller “L” size bobbins, but that is still over a mile of thread just on the back.  No wonder it took so long to quilt it.  With all the bias in the center, I thought it needed dense quilting to stabilize the blocks and keep everything flat.  Plus it looks really pretty with all those swirls and twirls!!

I’m so happy there’s just binding left and then this project will be FINISHED.

    I definitely agree with your choice of quilting. That’s a lot of bobbin changing, but I like the smaller bobbins better than the larger ones, for some reason. You did a beautiful job on the entire quilt, start to finish.
