I will probably use a patterned fabric. Cotton, since the top is cotton. Guess I could use a flannel. Never thought of that, but it might be nice.
I'm impressed that you do your own machine quilting. Almost all the quilters I know, and they call themselves quilters, send their tops out to be machine quilted. I was told "it isn't a quilt until it's quilted". So, technically they are "piecers" not quilters.Sorry, Marsha, my comment came off wrong, and you can't edit later. If I were a hand quilter and could quilt with a group, I'd be all for that; but being I do machine quilting it doesn't feel like "my quilt" sending it out, plus I don't have the extra funds for it.
you are very patient and skilled to do prairie points and that is going to look so awesome with that finish.
I do enjoy the piecing and color/fabric selection, sometime I have help and just buy a coordinated group, other times it's all me picking fabrics/colors.
My quilting is very basic, but it's all mine, I mostly straight-line stitch, but have occasionally tried free-motion, but don't have the patience for it.I'm impressed that you do your own machine quilting.

This is darling.I am finishing up a little cross stitch on linen for a new grand daughter. I'm waiting for some heart buttons to come in the mail to put on the corners. Do not know when I will be able to get it framed, due to the virus. It will need a custom frame.
I do enjoy cross stitch, but I cannot do it well any more. I made lots of mistakes. I took out about half of everything I put in. Sometimes because it is a custom pattern, and sometimes because I didn't count correctly. I keep saying I won't do it any more, but then I can't resist and a pattern interests me. The nice thing, my dil has no clue about hand work and won't notice any of the mistakes! I might put some extra design in the empty spaces; not sure what might go with the monkeys. I did some drawn thread for the ribbon.
Very expensive to feed them; but it beats the alternative.My sister has two bottle baby calves right now. It's expensive to feed those big babies!
Oh yes.Very expensive to feed them; but it beats the alternative.
That is a nice pattern! I've never seen it before.I'm working on a pineapple quilt. I was going great guns on it last month but have put it away since the minis came home for the summer. I'm going to start working on it in the evenings again though.
Fun to see what everyone is up to.View attachment 41312
