Finished quilting this Turning Twenty Quilt on Friday night. I used the Drop of Paisley design by AnnBright.com. I used a soft cream thread by Quilter's Choice (Omini) on top and in the bobbin. I am most pleased with the thread choice. The thread sunk into the fabric and blended beautifully with all colors. I spent quite a bit of time puddling different colors of thread on the quilt top. I didn't want the thread to pop out at you. I want to achieve texture on the quilt top. The customer stated this quilt would be used and washed. I chose the Drop of Paisley design because it give very even coverage and will help the quilt tolerate repeated washings.
I have one more quilt to quilt for a customer. Then I will get all of my quilts finished for the show on March 16-17th at the Bureau County Fairgrounds in Princeton, IL.
Yours in quilting,
Terry
