Maybe I could actually handquilt this way!LOL I think this was about the size I was doing when Mom tried to teach me to handquilt, but it wasn"t what she had in mind! Hers was more 12 to an inch, never could do that.

My niece does big stitch on all her quilts and they're gorgeous. I love your pillow. I think the big stitch quilting adds to the design.

That really looks nice. Big stitch certainly has a place in quilting. It especially looks great on homespuns, plaids and the thimbleberries type of patterns.
