Thread: crowfoot quilting

I reall like what you did.

Totally different, but I really like it, too.

Love your quilt. Especially love the quilting. Wonder if my machines have that stitch.........now you have me thinking! Thanks for sharing.

Your quilt is very pretty and I love the crow feet stitching! Thanks for sharing. I'm thinking I may have to try the CF stitch now.

Never saw crow foot quilting,,, is it done by hand, and do you use hand emb. Floss.

When you used the variegated thread, what needle did you use? I have not used that kind of crochet thread, but I assume it would take a bigger sewing needle?
