The quilt is a gift for my Aunt. After my Mom passed away she has always been just a phone call away when I needed someone to talk to or just vent. When I was talking about wanting to try quilting she encourage me to do it.
I did double over the batting and it is machined embroider. I'm quilting close to the baskets then I jump over them to the other side. I definetaly don't want to quilt through them
