Wholecloth Quilting (Friday Foto Fun #143)

This month's Aurifil Artisan Challenge is to create a wholecloth quilt. I did a similar challenge last year as an Artisan, see my project here.  Windham sponsored this challenge and provided Artisan Cottons for us to use in our quilts!

I used the Artisan Cotton in Orchid (40171-21) and Dusty Lavender #1243 forty3 thread to create my table runner.  I used some premade designs that came on my Prostitcher and arranged the layouts of 10 different designs!  I think I did a pretty good job of getting the designs to blend together so you can't tell where each design starts and stops!

I really love how this turned out.  My Amara is picky about thread, but the forty3 worked beautifully with zero thread breaks!

Forty3 weight thread is a 3ply thread made specifically to handle the rigor of today’s high-speed, high-tech Longarm machines. It currently comes in 50 different colors! You can spot the spools by the distinct yellow spool.

The thread stitches so beautifully!  I really love using Aurifil for my domestic machine and now I can't wait to quilt on my longarm with more forty3!

This weekend I'll be doing a short stream on Saturday to finish my modern quilt that I started a few weeks ago and I'm going to be staring on a BUNCH of secret sewing for next year's collection of patterns!

What are your weekend sewing plans?
