I've been working on the "Tuxedo Quilt" since January and it is finally a top...or "flimsy", as quilters call it! Tomorrow I am going to go buy a stencil for the border, and then after marking it, I'll be loading it into my frame so I can start with the hand-quilting. I went ahead and loaded the backing into the frame today.
The "black" fabric looks solid from a distance, but this is what it looks like up close...
The white is a tone-on-tone with a swirl design in it, too.
This is the backing fabric I chose...fancy but whimsical...
I'm planning on entering this quilt in next year's quilt show in April! :) It measures 97" x 107" and is a variation of the "Hunter's Star" pattern. It was designed with EQ7 and cut out completely on my Accuquilt using the Hunter's Star die.
