Progress on Moonrise<\/strong> – since my last post, I layered the quilt, and completed a lot of the quilting.<\/p>\n

Layering<\/strong>.
\nIn preparation for layering the quilt, I squared and trimmed the edges, then I machine basted 1\/4″ from the edges.\u00a0 This secured the ends of the loosely fused strips.<\/p>\n

I used white felt as the middle layer.\u00a0 I will be facing this art quilt, rather than binding it, so I cut the felt and the backing fabric smaller than the top – about 3\/4″ on each edge.\u00a0 Because these two layers don’t extend all the way to the edges, there will be a lot less bulk when I fold the edges and the facings to the back.<\/p>\n

I spray-basted the three layers, then machine basted the felt\/backing 1\/8″ from the edge.\u00a0 This basting will be removed after all the quilting is done.\u00a0 You can see both lines of machine-quilting in the photos below.<\/p>\n

Quilting.\u00a0<\/strong>
\nThe fabric strips are pressed to a base of Pellon grid fusible interfacing<\/a>, a low tack interfacing, which means the fabric can be easily re-positioned.\u00a0 However, that also means the fabric strips are not securely affixed to the interfacing, so I wasn’t sure how well they would stay in place during the quilting.\u00a0 I was pleasantly surprised – I had to re-press them a few times, but none of them fell off.<\/p>\n

I quilted the lower half with horizontal wavy lines, spaced about 1\/4″ apart.\u00a0 Then I quilted the raw edges of the sky and cloud strips.\u00a0 Now all the strips are secured in place, and I don’t have to be concerned about them coming loose.<\/p>\n

I’m going to quilt the sky and clouds with straight horizontal lines about 1\/4″ apart.\u00a0 I will probably quilt the moon in the same way, or perhaps with wider spaced lines.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it looks at this point.<\/p>\n
