Wavy Wedges
Jill has created a wonderful quilt for her lucky granddaughter using a multitude of fabrics and colors. The center of the block is six little wedges coming together which benefits from the quilting to keep it flat. This very simple design, Wavy Wedges, compliments the quilt and creates a great secondary design, especially from the back.

Backing fabric continued…..why it needs to be “square”
Here’s a couple pictures showing the backing fabric attached to the leaders of the longarm. Two parallel backing fabric edges are pinned to the longarm leaders, rolled up and pulled taut. If the backing fabric is not squared off, it will not load onto the longarm leaders smoothly. I hope these pictures help you understand the importance of proper backing fabric. Pieced backs are great but if they lay wavy and skewed on the floor they will be wavy and skewed on the longarm! For a small fee I will prepare your backing for you or you can purchase wide neutral backing fabric from me. I’d be happy to help you figure the yardage needed for backing fabric, too, just let me know how I can help you!

Linda’s queen size
Linda created a beautiful bed size quilt featuring multiple elements making it very fun to design quilting motifs for. As usual the back reveals more of the quilting than the front.
