Giant Quilt

Well I'm still quilting my giant quilt... it's about 84"x84" and it's sometimes overwhelming! Also, I made the unwise choice to use some threads my grandma had given me, but they are older and the threads keep breaking so I'm afraid to tug to hard on the threads - not ideal! I didn't realize this until I had done a lot of sewing though so I'm stuck with it.

The method I used to transfer the pattern was trace paper I happened to have on hand. At first I found it hard to use and then it got easier the more I did (as these things tend to do!) I'm not sure where I got the pattern from, it's a photo I saved a long time ago. I printed it out and taped it down to trace the pattern.

I also tried using the tulle method, which requires tracing the pattern using a water soluble pen but I didn't like this method, as the pattern can stretch out. And oddly enough, I kind of enjoyed tearing off the trace paper!

Pattern on the backside... I changed from pink to blue in some places as the pink does not show up well on the pink fabrics - something I should have realized before I started!
