pieces thank you so much for posting your pictures, they are beautiful, the quilting really focuses your blocks. After seeing your larger quilts, I am definitely going to include big stitch in my next full size quilt.
Having only recently started conventional hand quilting I love the way it softly gives a 3D effect to the blocks, which doesn't come with the continuous stitches in machining. I'm glad that this big stitch method has received such positive feedback from everyone, good to know I'm not going too far wrong.
As a newbie this board is my inspitation and tutor. :D
