πŸ’ Use Kind Words πŸ’

Panel: Use Kind Words, by Sweetwater
Size: 55" X 64" 
Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton, Request
Thread: Glide--Cream
Quilting: Modern Twist by Patricia Ritter 
Interesting Info: I bought this panel a year ago for half price, during my "anniversary purchase" at the quilt shop I work at. These large size panels are super fun, instant gratification!  
I love dense quilting. But on this quilt, with Sherpa backing, I wanted to keep the quilting open, and used "Modern Twist":
For an easy binding when using sherpa: after quilting, trim batting even with top and cut Sherpa 2" from edge of top. Turn the Sherpa over twice and stitch close to the fold. Voila! 
Great words to remember!!! ⤵️
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

    I've never heard of anyone using Sherpa for a backing. It sounds wonderfully cozy. What kind of batting did you use? Was it difficult to quilt through batting and Sherpa? It seems as though that would be fairly thick.

    Such a fun quilt idea when you want a quilt done quickly. You will enjoy snuggling under this quilt this week with the snow coming!

    The wisdom on this panel is needed more ever these days. I've not heard of Sherpa.

    I too, am glad your no pictures problem is solved! What a great panel to make a very “ timely”quilt! Though kindness should always be appropriate!
