For years I have admired the Baptist Fan quilting and wanted to do it on a quilt.
I finally did it...on a queen-sized quilt...
And all I can say is NEVER AGAIN!
Not only was it difficult to cross over corners where 3+ seams meet, but it is BORING to do on a large quilt. BORING BORING BORING!
I love the look...but I don't think I'll ever do it again except for a small quilt.
That's my 2 cents worth anyway! LOL
Here is a picture of the quilt I did it on...
