I am quilting a GFG quilt now with this type quilting. Because of carpel tunnel, arthritus, poor eyesite, and MS, I no longer am able to do regular hand quilting. For this quilt, I am using a larger needle that is easier to hold, and I can actually see the eye of the needle! I'm using embrodery floss. I am liking it a lot. Would post a photo if I knew how! I also tied a GFG. Used embrodery floss to match the fabircs and tied in each hex. That picture is in the photo gallery. (DD posted that photo for me!) By the way, your GFG is beautiful!

I think I would use the same design as the gmf that you did prior. I've not seen any other hand quilted designs on a gmf other than the one you did, either. Good luck & please share your finished product.

I would like to thank everybody that helped me in my creative process. I finally decided on what is shown below. Thanks to you and my EQ7 I'm sure of what the outcome will look like. Thank you also for the kind words regarding my quilt.

That's gonna come out great! Are you going to quilt it by hand or machine? Either way it will be beautiful!
