This looks a lot like the photo from yesterday but it's really sewn together now. It is 46" x 64" as predicted. All of the Kaffe collective fabrics came from the bin marked 'large Kaffe scraps' except 2 prints that I cut from 6" strips. One print, used in 2 colorways, is from 2010. There are a couple other oldies in there too.
The largest part of the day yesterday was spent cutting the battings and making backings. I didn't take any photos as I was working. I had 6 batting pieces I wanted to cut and I got 4 of them out of the end of the old roll. There is one leftover piece that I can use for a small quilt. Now I need to move the huge new roll up on the table. I think maybe I'll wait a few days. I made backings for 2 of the 4 quilts so I'll work on the other 2 backings next.

This is just absolutely gorgeous! Makes me rethink what to do with large prints.

It turned out beautifully!
I really love this one, the colors are spectacular.
What a wonderful use of the Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I just love this one!
Your fabric choices for this make the design sing. Congrats on sticking with the smaller size and good luck with the big roll of batting. They ARE a challenge to handle.
Just a lovely, vibrant finish on this one, Wanda. Heaving heavy rolls about can't be easy--be sure to be careful with it...
21 here and sunny. Just a light breeze--but even that makes it feel quite a bit colder...finishing up the basting on my Comfort Cloth today...hugs, Julierose
Hooray! I've heard about a batting shortage, but in December I got a new roll that will last for a while.
PLAIDISH ~ Truly a work of art ! It is one of those that has taken my breath away. You accomplished a lot yesterday and I know you're still on a roll today.
the quilt top turned out great and I bet you are glad to get those pieces of batting cut and made several backings too is good
So lush and gorgeous, Wanda--congratulations!
It does take time to measure, cut and frankenbat batting, especially when one would rather be sewing! Manhandling rolls of batting can be a challenge, especially for someone of diminutive stature, right? It’s all about getting the right leverage, cookies for a son perhaps ;-)
This one is spectacular!
This top looks so good!
