Is it hand quilted? It looks like work my DM did on some of her hand quilting projects.

Looks like regular hand quilting, very neatly done. Just do a search on hand quilting.

I believe it is called " Big Stitch Quilting"? Try youtube to see if there is a video.

Beautiful quilt...Love red and white and the quilting is gorgeous. You could do machine with a 12 weight thread. Try a few samples first. Good luck.

If you Google "Big Stitch Quilting", you should find some books on this method. It is not topstitching, but rather hand quilting using thicker thread, a larger needle, and making larger stitches.

Fons and Porter had a show about wool quilts and showed them quilted in a style similar to that. They called it utility quilting.
