I'm currently hand quilting a baby quilt for a friend's grandson. We made Moda Bake Shop's "Pinwheels in the House"for the little tyke. What I did was two SID's in the center blocks per request, but then I'm working with my first stencil. So I have a Wave stencil pattern in the outer border that "blends" into the fabric but is still noticeable. I know that the outer portion will get more abuse and wanted something that would hold up to it a tad better. I'm using an embroidery backstitch (although @ the time I started it I didn't realize that) on the waves and so far even the backside has pretty clean lines. I'm more or less "self-learning" or as I like to say..... "Faking & Making It Up As I Go Along" LOL. So I guess it is just a matter of preference.
