Great quilt and I'll have to try that serpentine stitch on my next quilt.

The wider strips are 6 inches wide and the narrower ones 3 inches wide, three different lengths cut from each color used. The quilt ended up being 67 inch by 52 inch lap size quilt. Nice thing is you can make it as large or small as you like. I used Tonga Batiks. I used 3 1/2 yards 44 inch fabric for backing . Pieced across width wise in 3 parts.

I am making a 2.5" patchwork quilt. I like that stitch for the quilting. Thanks for the visual! I really like your quilt as well.

I love love your quilt. Do you use a walking foot when you do the serpintine stitch? I always meant to ask that and forget each time I see the quilting. Oh and do you widen the stitch as wide as you can? Do you make the stitches shorter or longer? I think I might have this stitch. I didn't think I did but I might.

Yes I did use a walking foot and yes I did lengthen and widen the stitch as much as my machine allowed. All the faster to get it done - ha!.
