Quilt Info:
Batting: Quilters Dream Batting 100% Cotton, Request
Backing: Luxe Cuddle High Plush
Quilting: Taj Mahal
Interesting Info: This quilt is for Michelle's grandson, Isaac, born two weeks ago!
The quilting, Taj Mahal, shows up best on the backing, which is called Luxe Cuddle High Plush. It has a notably higher loft than Minkee. It definitely calls for a more open quilting design. All in all, due to the high loft, I found it pretty difficult to quilt, in that I had to be stabilizing the quilt top at all times, so as to not get pleats, puckers or shifts. But in the end, it all worked out⤵️
The blocks are paper pieced⤵️
Congratulations, Michelle, on the safe arrival of your grandson, Isaac, during the quarantine, and the finish of a beautiful quilt for him!
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

Beautiful quilting for this lovely quilt! A lot of baby quilts these days ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up with TGIFF!
What a fun baby quilt! This will see some good days of love :-) The quilting design looks so good on that plush backing!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done! Very unusual, but glorious colors for a baby quilt. Congrats on surviving the stitching on that very plush backing.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilting, I cannot deal with that plushy stuff.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to see what you are working on, Nancy! Another pretty quilt and quilting!
ReplyDeleteLove this pattern and your use of fabrics really makes a striking quilt. Congrats on the finish!
ReplyDeleteI love the way this looks but funny you had so much trouble with the cuddle. My longarm dealer loves using it. The definition is gorgeous and I am sure Isaac will love it.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a fun quilting pattern! But I do bet that high loft made it difficult--looks great though!
ReplyDeleteThe beauty of this quilt was only enhanced by your quilting! I have been using minky backings and wool battings. They seem to make the quilts more "snuggly". Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI am looking at how effective the fabric choice has been in this quilt. Well chosen.
ReplyDeleteI want to snuggle up on the back of this quilt myself! The quilting is perfect! Good job!
