There was another discussion on Big Stitch quilting, this is the first one I've been working on and I love it! So relaxing, quick and forgiving!! Thanks for looking .

I defintely have to do this!, it just "makes" this quilt and I cannot seem to get the hang of hand quilting with the small stitches. Beautiful job.

The big stitches achieved a lot of motion that normal quilting would not have done. I like the nautical theme. How did you make the lighthouses?

Susy, this is good practice for you in case you ever want to try hand quilting. :thumbup:

The lighthouses are batik panels I bought at the Lancaster Quilt Show this year!
Thanks for the kind words!
