You would think that me and this baby quilt would have had enough of each other....BUT NO..not me....I had to go and finally decide to HAND quilt it. I can't help it...I love the look of hand quilting. So I kinda had a quilt-a-thon this weekend. On the 3 decorative crazy squares I decided to do some of Tonya's arcs or Baptist fans. I really do not have enough pins to tack it with...but so far I don't have any "bunches" on the back.
As you can see above I decided to just do simple quilting around each pinwheel square. So I'm going to get back to it.....wish me luck!And I want to thank Patty for her tips on why my photos on my last post didn't enlarge. Thank you so much Patty! With a little help here and there from everyone maybe I will finally get this blogging thing down!
That is a wonderful quilt! I love to had quilt just wish I had more time to do it! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteCute quilt. I like to hand quilt my small quilts.

ReplyDeleteWell it's beautiful and it will be even more beautiful! There is no substitute for real hand quilting. I admire it so much.
ReplyDeletei agree with nanette...there is no substitute for hand quilting. i wish i would do it more often.
ReplyDeleteI have only hand quilted a few things in my lifetime, and I admire anyone who keeps at it! Nice Job!
ReplyDeletedo I understand this correctly - your BASTING with straight pins? ow ow ow ow. Love your hand quilting. That WAS helpful info from Patty - I didn't know it.
ReplyDeletePretty in pink! If I only liked to hand quilt I'd do it more often. I used to only hand quilt, once upon a time. I do still have a 1930s reproduction quilt basted and partially hand quilted...going on about 7 years untouched!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting looks lovely. It is really adding to the sweetness of your quilt.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Hand quilting is the way to go.
