I made a Bonnie Hunter scrappy quilt and hand quilted it using the utility stitch (large). I used perle cotton #8. It is perfect for my scrappy look. My stitches are too large, but it works for me. I probably will not hand quilt one again because it took forever, but I love my scrappy quilt. I wanted a quilt the kids could take out in the yard or on the boat, so this one is perfect.
