I have an old Bernina which has about 20 basic stitches. I just finished a split rail for my son and his fiancé for their wedding present. It has at least 20 really bright colors in the rails. I used the decorative stitch to SID each block. It turned out much like the crazy quilts and was the very best way I could have quilted it! I used a variegated thread on the top and a solid on the bottom.
