Whenever I finish the quilting process I am always amazed at the transformation that takes place. A simple flimsy made up of a patchwork of fabric all of a sudden becomes something special - a quilt.

I am so happy with the quilting design that I used for this cuddle quilt. It is called Double Plume and the end result is wonderful. I love the look of this quilt so much that I took more than a few pics while it was still hanging over the long arm :).
When I finished sewing the flimsy together it was approx 60" x 69" but with the process of quilting I am pretty sure it has shrunk. This quilting design is a bit dense and it has such wonderful texture. I still need to trim the quilt and then I will take some new measurements so that I can get going on the binding.

At this point I plan to to use the darker solid blue for the binding - it is the same blue that I used for the triangle points. I just need to get it prepped and attached by machine and then I can relax and admire the quilt while I hand stitch the binding to the back.

Just gorgeous!! Really GORGEOUS! The double plume is a very nice pattern. Well done.
great quilt. I love the quilting and the fabric you've used on the back. I'm like you. I feel a quilt only comes alive once it's been quilted xxx
Your quilting is perfect.
Greetings, Manuela
Lovely work. Well done. Always feels good to be nearly finished
A beautiful quilting design!!
Oh, I agree. The quilting always makes those fabric pieces come together and bloom. This is a beautiful quilt.
The quilting is amazing which makes the quilt amazing. Love the front, and the back is great, too. You did a great job.
Hugs
Beautiful!
Your wonderful quilting really does bring out the lovely quilt. Enjoy your binding stitching.
I call it magic, it happens every time. Always puts a smile on my face. Saw a panel that someone machine quilted and added a bit of trapunto to it. It was just amazing. I may have to try one! It would be a fun way to practice my machine quilting. I love the design you used on this one!
