I really like your big stitches. I have a question. Are you going to stitch on both sides of the seam like the top picture shows?
If you do you will get the effect of a small star in the center of the pinwheel which would be cool. A lot of work but worth it. peace Edit: I thought this picture would show another option. |

That looks terrific!
Can you tell me what needles you're using? I started mine but the needles are totally wrong- tapestry. The only ones that would work with perle cotton. I ordered some and am waiting for the right ones. |
I really like the hand quilting you have started on the “correct” quilt. :-) I hope I don’t miss it when you post the finished quilt. Just a comment about the first quilt.....I love-love-love the amount of quilting that has been done on this quilt. Not only will the amount of quilting stabilize the quilt for the next 100+ years, but it is beautiful. Remember, “the quilting is what makes the quilt”!

oh no, the tapestry needle has a round point to slip thru cross stitch holes in fabric. A chenille needle has the same big eye as a tapestry needle but a sharp point like a sharp or a quilting needle. Use that instead. Good Luck.
To the original question. I personally would have not went straight thru to the next block, but just went around the triangles, like the pic ube quilting showed. There is no true way to quilt anything, it's yours, and I think it will look great. Can't wait to see the pic when finished. |
I use Thimblelady XL needles or chenille needles. You want something sharp with a large enough eye to accommodate your bigger thread.

So pretty! Love your colors, your stitching! All of it and both of them. Thanks for posting those photos!!

Faintly Artistic, thank you for the needle suggestion. I appreciate everyone's encouragement!

I love the look of big stitch quilting. Your stitches are perfect! Beautiful quilt now and will be spectacular when finished. Hope I see the finished picture.
