Then, the quilt came off the long arm machine, and into the bathroom.
Cold water, and gentle agitation for about 5 minutes removed all of the soluble Verona film.
A quick spin in the washing machine to remove excess moisture and then it is on the clothesline.You can see that this will be a BIG quilt. (About 2.5m across and 2m high)
Here is a view of the back, showing some of the stitching. My other half said to me today: "How are you going to put the background in?" The answer is "I am not sure yet!" I think I will be able to attach large pieces of fabric - the background is quilt minimal. There will be some very intense quilting and some three dimensional "extras". Watch this space!

Wow! What an interesting way to build a quilt. Normally the FIRST thing you start with is the background. Not the last thing!
I look forward to seeing it progress.

I am wondering how many times this quilt will be washed before it is finished :-) Have not heard of the washing out as you go. Will be watching with interest.
Have a Great Christmas
Cheers
Lynne
