Quilt Marking is FINALLY Done

Posted by Brye Lynn on Aug 20, 2011 in Marking |

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.
