It may have been tedious but don't you think it was worth the effort. No matter how much practice I do I have been unable to do a satisfactory blanket stitch by hand, so bit the bullet and attempted an applique quilt using my machine to do the blanket stitch. It was worth all the needle down, do a few stitches, needle up, turn a bit, needle down, etc. etc..

It's beautiful. I love the bright colors. I really hope your co-worker falls in love with it. I love that is not traditional soft pink, blue, etc. It is so original. It's perfect.!
