Had an extremely happy customer this morning when she picked up her baby's quilt she ordered in turquoise, brown and beige. The quilt top as well as the back was done in 100% cotton. I usually use a mix of different fabrics as it is more cost effective but getting different prints and/or shades in any one color is just an uphill battle. So, off to our local Elna dealer I went after a fruitless stop at Jacksons whose variety of quilting fabric has sadly diminished alarmingly.
Whilst surfing the internet, I stumbled onto yet another technique to construct a bubble quilt and decided to combine it with Tracy's method which I used to stitch this quilt. What I like about Narelle's method is creating the pleats before sewing all the blocks together as you can then alternate the directions of the pleats creating less bulkier seams. It was also a lot faster than Tracy's method where all the pleats have to be created and stitched one by one which felt like it took an eternity. So with puff quilt number 6 done and dusted, I finally have a less time-consuming method with a backside that fits snuggly.
