I have finished my little quilt for the International Quilt Association's (IQA) Silent Auction which will be held at the Houston Quilt Show in early November 2011. The money raised helps support the activities of IQA including the quilt show.
I have named my quilt Crazy about Kookaburras and it measures 17" (44cm) square.
I think that it looks much better quilted. Quilting adds texture and interest. Traditionally crazy quilts were not quilted and usally didn't include any wadding or batting. They were just the embroidered top and a backing fabric and then tied in certain spots to hold the two layers together.
I make my quilts to hang on a wall and so always include the wadding and quilting.
Bye for now,
Linda
