Union Jack Quilt


I finished the Union Jack quilt. Tula Pink's Acacia. Endless endless paper piecing. Squidgy wadding. Supersoft backing. Bright lipstick pink sketch binding.


I used Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 which is a pouffier, squidgier wadding - not really suited to a wall hanging or display quilt where you'd want something flatter and more stable but perfect for a quilt to snuggle with. For a more structured quilt, I tend to use warm and natural which is a bit heavier and sturdier. And I quilted with a lovely thick Aurifil cream 40wt - lines nice and wide apart, again so that the quilt was softer and snugglier. This is not a show quilt. It is a house quilt.

And it was instantly claimed by twin 2 as hers, belonging to her, only hers, not to be shared, even though it is still covered in loose threads, Frixion pen quilting markings and there are a couple of places where the binding is not quite properly sewn down.
