I made a log cabin cushion cover, and stitched in the ditch, which came out well.

I would be doing it by hand. I quilted a wall hanging on my machine a few years ago and did not like the way it came out. LOL I am so new I have to look up crosshatch :D

Thank you to all who responded. Once I get all the blocks done and arranged I may take a picture of it and ask for suggestions from the group. :) I would be quilting by hand, I do not like the way my machine quilts. I machine quilted only one project - clear nylon was recommended in the pattern and I really was disappointed in how it came out. :(

Have a wonderful day all! We are bracing for close to 2 feet of snow here. Wish I were home playing instead of working lol.

My first quilt was a log cabin and I quilted it with diagonal lines over the whole quilt. It turned out good, but I think next time I would stitch in the ditch around each log.

I had thought about going around each log.. I wonder how difficult it will be to go through all of the layers. My strips are 1.5 inches. Which leaves about 1 inch of fabric after sewing with 1/4 seams. soooo I would be quilting through 3 layers of material and the batting. Thoughts to ponder lol.
