I've been working on that pineapple quilt- sewing down the strips on the back from the quilt as you go method I'm using. The quilt is HEAVY!!!And it's big! It is close to 100" square.
Before I started working on the binding his morning I got my husband to get on the scale to weigh it. The quilt weighs a whopping 7-1/2 pounds! I know that does not sound heavy but when it's sitting on your lap or when you are wrestling it under you presser foot , it is heavy.
The binding is now sewn on. All I have left to do before enjoying it on the bed is to finish sewing it down by hand. I am going to spend a coupe days with my dad this week so that is what I will bring with me!
By this time next week I should be sleeping under it!
Happy Stitching!
No, I never have weighed a quilt, but that does sound heavy to be pushing around--and that is a large quilt!
ReplyDeleteI have always dreamed of making a bed sized pineapple quilt, but have never made it a reality. Kudos to you!
