Mini Wholecloth Finish ++ Aurifil Artisan

As an Aurifil Artisan I have the opportunity to take part in some monthly challenges. The challenge for August was to create a mini whole cloth quilt using a Paintbrush Studio Painter’s Palette solid fabric and matching Aurifil thread.

The fabric I received (randomly selected) was Painter’s Palette solids by Paintbrush Studios in Wisteria (color 121-017) and the matching thread was Aurifil 2560 in 50 wt.  Wisteria is one of the Paintbrush Studio trending colors for 2019, you can find them all right here.

I really like using 50wt for free motion quilting as it is thick enough to see, but thin enough that it does not build up on the quilt if I have multiple lines of stitching on each other.

I divided the whole cloth into triangle shapes using my walking foot then filled in each section using different free motion quilting designs.  I was able to quilt very small and dense because the quilt was such a small and manageable size.

I bound the quilt in the same Wisteria color and now the quilt is living on my coffee table in my family room.

Here are some outtakes of the photo session where Reeses and Oreo want to get into the picture.

Thank you Aurifil and Paintbrush Studios for including me on this fun challenge!
