Hi,
Recently finished King size quilt for Daughter-in-law. Designed my own quilt and pattern. Made baskets, hand appl handles of baskets on, added corners to blocks, then decided to hand embrodery heart designs around corners, then added same color pink/burgandy as in basket, for shashing, then added border in white then the same pink/burgandy color about 10 inch finished border. Tried "hand look" quilting, would take forever, took out, did 1/4" seam quilting, didn't like, tried hand quilting, not good with that, finally did in the ditch by machine, took a while used walking foot and started in center then out to outer borders. Worked out beautiful and did not bunch or pucker. Practice and Patience was the key to regular walking foot, machine quilting for me, used table and iron board to help "hold" quilt level while working on it. Beautiful. Quilted since little girl, I'm now a great Grandmother. I am a Quiltaholic!
