here's a link to some really good pics of the original jane quilt - you can see some of the quilting that she did.

then as far as what people do today, its more of a custom thing to each block, some SITD, geometric quilting in the triangles, etc.

and then there's this one which was a huge hit at houston quilt fest

Thanks so much for sharing these pics Klue. I really liked the one from Houston Show. The borders were really different. Quilting was great! Hugs

i agree, i love the idea of quilting the triangles instead of doing the piecing work. its a nice play from the people who don't do triangles at all.

the quilt was pieced by someone and then she sent it to a professional long arm quilter to be quilted.

Thanks for showing that beautiful quilt from the Houston Festival. Awesome work. Really showed the quilting up.

:oops: color me stupid or just inexperienced, what does "QID" mean

i think thats the same as SITD, which is stitch in the ditch. its when you do the quilting in the seams ditches.

Yes me too, thought about it a while and think its Quilt in the Ditch. Patti (Sandpat) give us a clue lol

While we are talking quilting, and lots of people worrying about not being able to get this monster under a domestic machine and not being able to afford to have it professionally quilted, what is wrong with quilt as you go? I think this is what I might do, providing I have the time

Think that could be a plan, however although I tried this method I wasn´t happy with the results, so perhaps you could give us a tute on the way you do it, Please.

Ummm...QID was my brain saying quilt in the ditch rather than SITD stitch in the ditch...so sorry to confuse. I was tired..but then again...I am confused most of the time anyway.. :oops:
