I quickly realized while quilting this why I have so many unfinished quilt tops.
I hate machine quilting.
It takes so long - just about as long as cutting all of the fabric and piecing it - not to mention that it's pretty difficult to do on a small machine.
For the quilting, I used a large meander stipple around the larger border. On the inner thin brown border I used a smaller meander stitch. The inside squares were stitched "in the ditch" or along the existing seams.
I'm not perfect at quilting yet, but I think the imperfections give it character. It's finally done and it feels good!

Good job Alli!! I really like fabric you used and how your quilting turned out:) Where are you going to put this quilt?
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous!!! I love the colors and patterns you used for this quilt. Seriously you are sooo talented!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out awesome!! I am impressed, after quilting my first quilt, I swear I will never do it again. I'm sending them out from now on. Your stippling turned out great!!
ReplyDeleteThanks girls! This quilt is for me - it goes perfectly in my bedroom. Now I just need a cushy chaise lounge in the corner to lay it across ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty perfect - I love it! I've never done machine quilting. I assume you have to have a special machine to do it? Yes, No? Seriously turned out so pretty!
