Zipper quilt finished

10 years ago

Got the binding finished on the zipper quilt. Sharon made this and we traded for quilting. I think it came out great. Tim picked out a light purple with white lines for the backing and binding. I did a small meander in the white areas and SID around the "teeth" of the zippers. Our youngest grandson said we should name it "Rainbow Zippers".

Bright and cheerful quilt. I love the quilting too. What kinda machine do you use? Do you have a quilting frame or a longarm?

Vasu, I have a mid-arm (Nolting Fun Quilter 17) on a Hinterberg Stretch frame. Not a fancy set up, but works nicely for me. I do have a stitch regulator, couldn't do it without one. Tim has also built me a wonderful big ironing board, cutting table, and sewing table. He is a wonderful enabler.

Thanks for letting me know. I did a search on TV and could only find curling on Friday nights.....late. I don't think they show them live right now......don't know the strategy of that.

Love the quilt and Rainbow Zippers name! I'm working on a zipper quilt using Star Wars fabric. What size is your quilt? I was just going to do SID, but I like the extra on yours.

This one is 45 x 51. I put a narrow sleeve on the back so it can be used as a wall hanging or a quilt. I like how the quilting in the white makes the "zipper" part stand out.
