last night i decided to try out my water soluble "paper" on a design for this amish center diamond quilt. in pepper cory's quiltmarking book, there's an antique design that she gave permission to copy. i thought it would be neat to preserve this design in a new quilt. i enlarged the pattern as indicated and used Solvy water soluble transfer paper to trace it, basted it to my quilt and here it is! it's a bit like quilting through a raincoat and it seems to be blunting my very sharp #10 quilting needles, making it a bit more difficult to quilt. it would be really difficult to do an entire quilt or even a very large area with this, but for the center of this quilt, it'll work fine. ***** it's a stashbuster at-home retreat weekend and maybe i can finish the red/cream northwind flimsy. that plus the halloween wallhanging is on the ever-so-flexible agenda, but at any rate, it's 4 days of no real plans and plenty of projects.
Looks interesting and does resemble a raincoat. I like the design. Happy quilting!
ReplyDeleteNevere heard of this product--but when you say it is like quilting through a raincoat--that makes me think I'm NOT interested!
ReplyDeleteHowever, you have an interesting design there, and I hope it inspires you to finish.
Looks like tricky work quilting through a "raincoat", but it is a pretty design.
