Default Quilts with decorative stitches

I would love to see pics of quilts done using the decorative stitches avail on vintage machines. All those cams with cool stitch patterns. Would love to see the creative uses quilters have come up with.

Would you now ...... OK then

This is my "All Machines" denim quilt. I used every machine we had at the time and many were ZZ machines with patterns and or cams. Tried to use them all.

Yep it is. I still haven't gotten the backing on it. It's so big we'll need to empty the front room out to do it.

Joe,
Love the quilt. I may try some of those decorative stitches on hubby's work jeans the next time I hit a darning spree. Would be a way to test them out.

I love how the variegated thread takes some of the hard corners off of the blocky stitches. Those are the stitches I love best but they can be not very stylish in regular thread. Variegated looks much better. A great design choice.
