Last night I kept that promise I made to myself and backed, batted and pinned the linen quilt. I had to iron everything (linen tends to wrinkle if you breathe on it), even the batting. Lately every roll of batting I take out of the bag is puckered and bulgy and drives me nuts. I also forgot to square the bottom, and my knees hate me now. But it's done and ready to quilt and embroider.
The backing is a beautiful vintage navy linen, a bit darker and heavier than what I used for my first linen quilt, but very comfortable. I can't wait to get started on the stitching.

So my question is, do you use a hoop? And what size?
