Quilts with both hand and machine quilting pics
What has been your experience with quilting a quilt both by hand and machine. I would like to make a hand-quilted motif in the the center blocks and machine quilting the sashing and border. Please share pictures of any you have made and seen. Also would appreciate your experiences.

It's your quilt. You can quilt it how you want to. I would love to see pictures.
|
I agree, Its your quilt, it is a craft, do it the way you want. I am guessing you wouldn't be the first!

that sounds like it would look fine, doing it both ways. I made a churn dash quilt and was so tired i ended up doing some hand stitching in the blocks too. Finished that thing but it wasn't planned to do two styles of quilting. Since it's mine, i didn't care.
Let us see it when completed please. |

I'm working on a hankie quilt right now. Machine quilting most of it but planning to hand quilt the more fragile sections. Here's a picture of half of it. I snagged the edge of the butterfly and now have to repair it, which caused me to decide to hand quilt some parts after I finish machine quilting the rest.

I have hand quilted the centre of a quilt and machine quilted the rest. Looks great. There aren’t any rules that say it has to be done all one way or the other. It is artistic expression 🙂

I've never tried this, but I imagine it's probably best to do the hand quilting in the center first, then the machine quilting in the outer areas of the quilt.
