Also, it being a twin and not a double/queen probably helps. I just barely covers the bed...I ran out of pieces! |
Linda; If you are HAPPY with it then it's finshed.

Very nice!!! I really do want to more of that!

I usually do more hand quilting on plainer fabrics and less on the busy ones. Kind of like on a whole cloth quilt you load it, and on those where the quilting won't be seen you do only what is necessary...minimum 4"

I think it looks great!! Plenty of quilting and you did a beautiful job!
|
beautiful quilt. Looking at the pics of the back, looks like you did a very nice job. Stick a fork in you, you're done.
|
You are to be commended! Quilts are such thoughtful gifts.

Your stitching is beautiful. When you say it is finished, it is!

It's avery pretty quilt. Beautiful prints and colors with excellent quilting. Lucky daughter! |
Your quilt is beautiful. I believe in the old addage "less is more". IMHO most quilts I see are over-quilted. Unless the quilting actually adds to the finished quilt, I like the least quilting that will hold the sandwich together firmly, usually what the batting calls for. If you want the quilting to be the main feature you might as well do a whole cloth quilt. To me, flat heavily quilted wall hangings are fine, but quilts to cover up with should be thick, fluffy, and cozy. To each his own, but this is my preference.
