Hand Quilting stencils/designs
Every quilt I've made so far has been hand quilted, stitching around each block in the quilt top. Now I'm wondering if any of you have drawn stencils or designs on the quilt top and stitched only those designs rather than sewing around each piece in the quilt top. I hope I'm making myself clear about what I'm asking. With these stencil designs it would seem to make the quilt top much more distinctive than just around each individual piece. Any suggestions?
