Finding I'm really loving the big stitch quilting, especially on the giant hexie top that needs to be finished soon. From this vantage point it looks like any of those quilting threads would look great on Muddy River. Hand quilting is absolutely the only way to go with that quilt, its soft texture will be the perfect complement to your pieced borders and the beautiful center medallion block.Quilting Babciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225825007525655805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-68765181172904380022015-11-23T01:07:13.610-08:002015-11-23T01:07:13.610-08:00soy quilter a mano!!

Plus, I also love the look of quilting done with Perle cotton, and I think it is so lovely and bold that too much can spoil the look of the quilt. I too tend to go with echo quilting and I think that is what I will do on my hexagon opus that I'm just getting ready to quilt.VivJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138515974908772675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-14358866633588004942015-11-23T00:03:01.144-08:002015-11-23T00:03:01.144-08:00I love hand quilting.

It's a very restful, thoughtful process, good in today's crazy busy world.i also do as much or as little hand quilting on each quilt that I think is appropriate. Like you I do a lot of echo quilting or quilt alongside block joins etc. My last quilt finish involved a LOT of hand quilting( a Bonnie Hunter style Wonkey Stars quilt) but I loved every minute of it and the finished result made it so worthwhile.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05139897702169696195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-60711275275925750942015-11-22T20:50:47.934-08:002015-11-22T20:50:47.934-08:00Every quilt is unique and sometimes has a will of ...Every quilt is unique and sometimes has a will of their own!

I strongly ...I simply cannot resist hand quilting. I strongly believe in the meditative value of hand work, and it is something I truly need. At the same time, I am trying to learn all that I can about machine stitching - it is a very different process altogether. I never plan my quilting design ahead of time. In fact I usually make that decision the first moment I put the quilt in the hoop or on my frame!

I am putting a lot of stitches into Baltimore Garden but am looking forward to quilting my log cabin with some big stitches. I find both equally enjoyable.
