New Wave quilt
I was able to get it basted last night...I actually SPRAY BASTED (happy dance!) and was pretty impressed with how quickly it came together. I have to decide if the extra cost is worth the time saved on the ground safety-pinning my life away. I don't know about you, but it takes me at least an hour from start to finish to pin-baste a lap-sized quilt. Cuts the time in half by spraying. We'll see how it sews together!
Also in the works, but not yet started, are the Kaleidoscope Quilt Along (starting tomorrow) and the Double Wedding Ring Quilt Along (starting 1 July).
AND I found the perfect pattern for my Flea Market Fancy fabric...but will absolutely wait until I get some of these quilts off my WIP list (side panel)!! I get so excited about starting new projects that I don't finish up what I already have going on. Hate that!

I love your New Wave quilt! It's beautiful and what great colour choices!
ReplyDeleteLove your new wave! I made one, too - a great little pattern. Curious to see how you feel about the spray-baste after you are done quilting. Will you definitely be washing the quilt when it's done, then? I've never used the spray but curious about it...
ReplyDeleteLove that New Wave quilt! A friend did it and I just love the pattern. Yours is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics you used for the wave quilt. Very nicely done.

Very inspiring! I think I'll be making one of this pattern!
ReplyDeleteHave you thought about using fusible batting? I use it exclusively for items I quilt on my regular machine, but not for quilts I quilt in my long-arm machine. Fusible batting has saved me so much time that I have been able to make MORE quilts!
