What's in the Hoop?

What's in the hoop?


It's probably the last big quilt that gets hand quilted until Autumn. 


 Baptist Fans


I mark a fan with chalk and a pounce pad. Then I hand quilt the fan. Then I mark a fan, quilt the fan, mark a fan, quilt the fan...

This is not big stitching. 

Someday I'll be finished.

Cool. A labor of love beautifully done. I have seen rulers like that, but I didn't know you use the pounce method to mark the fabric. I was thinking an air erase pen.

Love the fans quilting motif. It's perfect for this quilt. Pounce looks interesting. Last time I did a baptist fan, I used a Clover chaco tool. Pounce may be easier.

The fan motif is always lovely and perfect for almost any scrappy quilt. It just seems to unify everything. Love the hand quilting.

The Baptist fan design is lovely. Carry on stitching! Pretty colours in the quilt too.

Lovely template--this should really look terrific--I tried a (supposed) water erasable marker on my little red and white quilt and the marks are STILL there....I am upset...and I tested it--on a corner and it came off there, but the next morning the marks re-appeared!! Ack!! Have fun quilting...before the hot weather arrives...hugs, Julierose

That's a knock out quilt and a good hand quilt design choice.
Wonderful.

It's going to be beautiful. Well worth the time.

I need to try those Baptist fans on a large quilt, but I am afraid that I won't follow through. Which quilt flimsy to try it on? I have quite a selection to choose from!
