Another costco uq

**dunchbox** · 03-01-2016, 21:46

Just wanted to show off my costco uq. I made this to be my spare for friends and also my summer quilt. I haven't put the secondary suspension on yet because I don't know if I really need it.

I should have some more projects on the way.

Very nice. Did you recently get the quilt? I went to Costco today, which is not close so I couldn't go earlier, to try to buy one but apparently they are done selling them for the season!

I was excited when I first saw the low price of these. But not available. The quilting is going the wrong way. So how about two of then turned the long way for a full length UQ?
Nice work by the way!

The quilting is squared. I seem ripped it to make it that way. There are a lot of post on whether or not it should be long ways or side to side. I tried this to see how it works. I think it will get me in the 40s but i won't know till i test it

how long did it take you to seem rip everything? Any is there a technique to speed it up?

The stitch spacing is fairly loose, so once you get enough thread worked out of the locking stitch to grab it you can pull a lot of it.

I found the best method for me was to snip one of the threads, lift it from under a few stitches, then pull it until the quilt bunches up and you can't pull any more thread without breaking it. If I then snipped the same thread a few feet down the quilt I could take the bunched up portion and work it in small pieces down to my second cut, ripping out feet of stitching at a time. You then repeat with the thread on the far side of your recently removed cut. Pretty mindless work while watching something.

That looks pretty full! Did you add additional down?

This was how I made my UQ as well. What's the theory behind the direction of the baffles?
