Ladies - whats your opinion on the quilting? If I were doing it, I would probably FM it but that is kind of hard for a beginner. Echo quilting is another option or maybe just hand tie it in 2"square increments? What do you think?
What does FM mean? What is echo quilting? I want to machine quilt around the edges of the figures and inside the shapes next to the light blue outlines. I do not know what color I should use to do the quilting. I do not know what to use for the dark blue or the wite/blue polka dot borders. How do you pin the bottom layer , the batting and the top print together? How big and what kind of fabric should I use for the batting and the bottom layer? I have more of the light blue and the whie/polka dot material. I want to make a baby quilt to hand tie, also. What kind of thread or yarn do you use to hand tie a quilt. Do you just pull the thread through all the thicknesses and tie a know and leave several inches? Thanks, Sherry
