Green Scrap Quilt with skinny brown lines - "Skinny It Up"

This is a continuation of a previous post about the making of the 3rd green scrap quilt; this one with the skinny brown lines.

I quilted this one on my sit-down longarm machine with lime green thread.  I decided to echo the brown lines with quilting that was spaced 3/4" apart and 2-1/4" apart and add some bubbles in the large spaces.  It was a bit of a bugger to quilt since I had to stitch on the diagonal using a ruler to get the spacing.  Unlike a regular longarm, I was able to maneuver the quilt like you would on a sewing machine.  And that's the difficult part, because at times the entire quilt was in my lap.   

After I quilted it, I cut the edges a little more curvy than they ended up to make it more off-kilter.  I added 1/8" grosgrain ribbon to the edges to give it some stability, and then faced it.  

I'm not sure how you would measure it, but loosely, it is 42" W x44" H.  I called it, "Skinny It Up".


I hope you like it!
