Big quilt from a big country
This is Sue’s king size quilt from Roma. It will be a wedding gift. She asked for a western theme, or something with stars, so we chose the stars and loops e2e machine quilting pattern. We teamed this with a deep red backing and matching thread, after ensuring Sue was happy with a strong thread colour.
Will this quilt fit in the frame?
At 112 x 110 inches (around 2.75m square), this is the largest quilt we have received at KoolKat Quilting for a while. Luckily it fits on the frame of the Statler Supreme, which is the largest of the Gammill computerised long arm quilting machines. This was the second of two large quilts from Christina of Toowoomba and it is being quilted in the frisky feathers e2e machine quilting pattern in a cream thread. Cream Caribbean backing and king size wool/poly wadding supplied by KoolKat Quilting. Two pieces of 120 inch long backing were used (2.75 wideback backing) and joined, the join being centred in the quilt. The quilt is a special one destined for Christina’s bed room.
