I have now completed this quilt. The fabric is from Da Gama Textiles. They have such vibrant color ways available. Just love it. This is a quilt for Matthew for later in life and will be kept till then. Just love doing big stitch quilting and have found this to be my favorite technique.

​Well done!

Very nice! Would you show a close up of the edge? I can't tell what the borders are. It kind of looks like an arrow, but I could be totally wrong.

Love your quil! Beautiful colors! Kinda still new to quilting and I’m still learning quilting terms. What is big stitch quilting?

I just love blue and green together, and your quilt reminds me why: very soothing, like a calm ocean. Your big stitch quilting inspires me. I think I could get into it. Matthew is your grandson, I gather?

Nicely done! Vibrant colors. :)

I love the colors of that quilt & your big stitch quilting if fabulous. You sure can stitch great straight lines.

Plee1053: Here's what I copied from the internet: "Big stitch quilting, sometimes referred to as Utility Quilting, is a method of hand quilting that uses longer stitch lengths (1/4”) and thicker threads – most commonly #8 perle cotton. The stitching shows more prominently on the quilt than machine stitching and adds an extra layer of design to the finished quilt."

Wow! Beautiful! I love the colors! And, your quilting! My hand done stitches never come close to your perfect ones!

Really like this looks like two fabric quilt. The colors are great together and reminds me of my mil and relatives quilts. The simplicity of the pattern along with the 2 fabrics really sets the quilt apart. I too like the big stitch quilting technique. Thanks so much for sharing.

How pretty and you did some fantastic stitching

toverly 01-15-2019 03:41 PM

Beautiful! Love the blue green combination. That's a great border also! Good job.

Beautiful!! And lovely hand quilting. Congrats on this lovely finish!

Wonderful - Fabulous - great colors! Big stiches or little stiches - all are quilting stiches!

The two fabric quilt is stunning and includes my favorite colors. Your stitching is perfect. What a lovely heirloom to give to one of your grandsons when he can appreciate it.

I am so sorry but have not idea what the block would be. It all went wrong when I cut it and just had to use it as the small print fabric was finished. So the border was a huge surprise to me!

Yes he is one of my 4 grandsons!He chose the color himself.
