Quilt Marking is FINALLY Done

August 20, 2011 in Quilting

Today, I finally finished marking the quilting on the entire Gator Quilt.  I ended up using a combination of two marking tools.

  • Bohin chalk pencil for the orange and blue sections
  • Quilter’s Silver Marking Pencil for the white areas

I marked the quilt before I sandwiched it because I wanted to quilt it in the “Gators”  and “University of Florida” logos.  So I used a light box to help with the marking.

The marking wasn’t difficult, it just took a while.  I have decided that marking the quilting is my LEAST favorite part of the process.  And it was making my neck hurt and gave me headaches looking down and tracing.

But I will soon be at my FAVORITE part – the machine quilting!

Here are some more pics – hopefully you can see the marking.  I am off to go sandwich it.
