I DID IT...I DID IT!!!!

grammy65, I trimmed the backing an inch further than the edge of the quilt, then I just folded it over the edge and tucked it in. It measures about an 1/2 inch. Kind of like hemming a pair of pants.

I used this method on a quilt that I had fleece for the backing.

Look at the split rail fence quilt, it's near the bottom. If you look closely you can see the edge. I also show the back of the quilt.

The quilting you did is really beautiful. People might be tempted to treat it like the front of the quilt!

Thanks Evie...I took a look and it looks great. I'm going to give it a try.

Leetec....here is the front of the quilt. I had posted it before, but it was not quilted then. You really can't see the quilting too well.

That is great, grammy! You do really nice work.

So pretty! And I love that Quick Trip pattern! Now you just have to hope for a cool day to snuggle under it.

gmaann....it's going to have to be pretty cool that's for sure. But it's going to England and I think it gets pretty chilly in the winter.

That looks so nice - the quilt and the quilting job. The balloons are so cute.

grammy65 you did an awesome job!!!

My grandaughter would love the butterflys quilted on something for her!

Which pattern did you use??? or did you makeup your own?

Tiggersmom...I used a pantograph from Willow Leaf Studio by Jodi Beamish called Angel Wings. To me they look more like butterflies though. It's a fun panto to do on the longarm.

I need to try again to post a link. Maybe I can't do it when I'm editing a post. Let's try it again

That doesn't seem to work when you click on it, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
