I have my quilt ready to be quilted. Pippi is doing quality control. A friend is fixing my laptop so I am not able to download pictures from my camera. I am so excited to learn that I can easily upload pictures from my camera onto blogger, while on my tablet! I'm sure ya'll already knew that but I am not very tech savvy. So, for now, I can only share phone pictures with ya'll. I am still learning how to use my tablet, it was a Christmas present.
Back to my quilt. I wanted to do a cross hatch, but my blocks are not perfectly lined up, so that would not work. I also thought about baptist fans, but that is too much work on a king size quilt, with all of the tracing (I've never done baptist fans before). The final idea is a loopy circle in each square. What do you think?
Some people asked me what I would be quilting it on, I'll be using my Industrial Singer 16 treadle from 1892. An industrial treadle has a bigger throat space then a normal machine which makes it perfect for quilting. This is the largest quilt I have quilted so we will see how it works.
I did get sidetracked with my new jigsaw puzzle. It has a red eye 66 treadle and a black and white cat. I have a red eye and a black and white cat! I need to glue the puzzle and get it framed to hang in my sewing room!

Can't wait to see what you come up with. Marking a large quilt is so time consuming but the end results are great Cute puzzle, and love the kittie pic in the bed.
Is that puzzle by Wysocki? (spelling??) I used to have his calendar with a page that looks the same or similar, all his cat calendars are so cute.
Art imitates life, right?! Can't wait to see a quilted quilt!! :)
How lucky that you have the industrial treadle to make quilting large quilts easier! Muffin looks very cozy!
