I love the feather filler in the center of the tulip quilt that surrounds the tulips. This looks different from the ones on your DVD’s is this a varianat?

Can I have it when you’re finished?
What, is that being too forward?
It’s breathtakingly beautiful.
And the quilting in the center is magnificent.
Where should I send my address?
Thank you.

Hi Sally,
Thanks for your nice note! I baste all my quilts by spray basting. (I use 505 Basting Spray). I know many people who spray baste also use pins, but I’ve never found that to be necessary with the 505. This method is much easier and I really appreciate never having to stop to remove pins or threads as I work.
There are 3 layers of batting in this quilt. The first is a layer of Hobbs wool batting that is under all the tulips and swirls. I chose that particular batting because I wanted a lot of loft. The second layer of batting is a scrap of Hobbs silk batting that is under the center section and the 3rd layer is a layer of Hobbs silk batting that is under the entire quilt.

Oh my word! Another gorgeous project. I notice you don’t seem to have any basting in the background where you’re quilting. What do you use–fusible? Probably not, would interfere with the trapunto area I imagine. Anyway, what kind of batting and do you baste somehow? TIA, Sally
