I spent most of Sunday afternoon prepping Luminous Layers for quilting. Trimming stray threads off the back of the quilt top, pressing the top and backing, cutting the batting, and then spray basting the layers together - you get the picture!
The backing fabric came from Missouri Star Quilt Co - they were having a sale on 2 yard cuts, so I ordered enough for two quilt backs. I thought this blue floral would be a good backing for Luminous Layers.
Figuring out how to quilt is always the toughest decision! I really wanted to keep the star design as the main feature, so ended up deciding to kind of outline the stars from the middle small star radiating out.
The small yellow stars feel like they will be the hardest to reach for quilting, so I haven't done any stitching in them yet. Still figuring that part out!
So far, making good progress!
