I quilted it on my reqular Bernina machine. I spray baste the sandwich. Then I roll the quilt as tight as I can & pin the roll with diaper pins to hold it. This makes it manageable. The center is the hardest to do so that is quilted in large meandering. I did smaller meandering around the edges where the bulk was easier to manage. I did vertical lives 3 inches apart around the bottom. I'm new at quilting so that's all I can do. These pictures look like the backing is white, but it's actually black!
