Yesterday while cleaning my room I found a sketch for a quilt (that I hardly remember drafting) that had gotten buried underneath a huge pile of papers. Just thought it was just a simple black and red patchwork quilt...that is until I read the little note at the bottom that explained there's supposed to be "intricate tattoo-like roses and skulls" stitched into each block.
My hand sewing skills are so bad that I wouldn't want to attempt quilting such a intricate design into a quilt by hand, but I have a feeling machine quilting it would have its problems as well. What would make machine quilting an intricate design a little bit easier and less nerve wracking?
