My 1st Kingsize bedspread!

My 1st Kingsize bedspread!

Instructions

I used Weaver Fever by Jackie Robinson. The assembly and quilting techniques were completed using Ann Petersen's Quilting Big Projects on a Small Machine.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Home

Style: Classic


Materials

Quilting cotton, batting, and decorative threads

What was your inspiration?

I love the 'weave' look of the pattern and thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing block assembly.

What are you most proud of?

After months of working this pattern when I wanted a break from other projects, I completed 156 blocks. Upon reflection of how to complete the largest project I had ever created, I was overwhelmed at the idea of quilting this monster. Ann Petersen's class (Quilting Big Projects on a Small Machine) was the answer to my dilemma!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Organization of fabrics is the key to enjoying the assembly process, but the information Ann Petersen brings to the table is a MUST to enjoying the quilting process!!

Thanks! I started working on it the beginning of 2011, but I do a lot of different sewing and knitting projects so my timeline is longer than most. The fabric quantities for the orignial pattern were not enough when I changed my mind to make a king bedspread, so with the help of a sewing buddy, I went searching for additional coordinates. I later used graph paper to plot where my different colors should be placed to make it look like this was the original idea.
