Henry Wedding Quilt: Quilting Begins with the First Stitch…

Here’s the Henry Wedding Quilt getting loaded on the frame: The quilt is about 84″ square – it’s supposed to finish at around 80″, but whenever I do a wholecloth quilt, I size it larger than needed because I know the quilting will cause it to lose a couple of inches. The quilting pattern is a pantograph called Chantilly Lace – it’s a beautiful open design, and I think it’s perfect for these wedding quilts. I suppose if I’m going to have a signature quilt, I should have a signature quilting design! Well, the only catch there is that this isn’t my pantograph design. Maybe one day.
