I quilted it with double thread and didn't bury any of my knots. I made it in 1967. It was 1980 before I ever actually took anything resembling a quilting class. I still haven't taken to many actual classes. Since I now belong to two guilds I see a lot of demos and trunk shows.
Most of you have made for your first quilts better ones than I can make or would attempt to make today.
