FINISH--3rd possible commission quilt--Fat-Quarter Squares on Point

 Finishing at approximately 47 inches by 60 inches, this one was pieced mainly from my fat-quarter collection.

For a batting I used a polyester queen-sized batt that I cut in half.  Before basting this quilt, I threw the batting into the dryer, on the lowest heat setting, to hopefully get the fold/wrinkles out of it.  

I left it longer than I meant to (FORGOT IT !), and it actually melted a couple of globs along one of the outside edges of the batting.  Never had that happen before !  This  was one of the polyester battings that Missouri Star Quilt Company occasionally offers in their 'daily deals'.

I minimally quilted this one, as I did the original quilt that I made in this design, in order to maximize the fluffiness of it. 

 I  used a dark red and black flannel check for the backing, and I don't think that I had pre-washed that fabric because it was such a big piece (found at a local yard-sale).  Well, at the end of my quilting it on my Jazz 2 machine, I noticed pink stains in the crevices and on the surface of the machine's base.  I hope I can get the stains off.........and I'll be watching for color release in the washing of this quilt.  I will probably throw several color-catchers into the wash even though I tried some of the fabric in a sink of cold water and saw no color release.

I wasn't crazy about this quilt when I finished with the quilting, but that striped binding really brought up my appreciation for the finished quilt.  Love that !
