Rainbow Loominous Giant Lap Quilt

Rainbow Loominous Giant Lap Quilt

I love Anna Maria Horner's Loominous collection and bought a fat quarter bundle a while back.  It made the move with us from San Diego to Salem and has been sitting on the shelf.  A few weeks ago I finally decided what I wanted to do with it and started cutting.

Since I was working with a fat quarter bundle, there were some limitations here, but I had fun putting the quilt together.

The woven fabric was not much different than working with regular quilting cotton - it is just softer.  I had been planning to use another AMH print for the backing, but it didn't seem to do the softness of the woven fabric justice so I splurged on yardage of my favorite print from the collection for the backing.

If you have been reading my blog lately, you may have seen a sneak peak at the binding last week.  It is another Loominous print.

I tried something new for the batting.  It is Quilter's Dream Cotton Deluxe.  It is not their thickest cotton batting, but it is a little heftier than my normal Quilter's Dream Cotton Select or Request.  It was not difficult to work with and wasn't a huge difference, but it does give the quilt a nice warmth and gives the quilting a little more definition.

I have re-stocked my Etsy shop with a few quilts, including this one, though I may take it out.  I'm not sure I can part with this one.
