I was in a shop some time ago and saw a bed size quilt finished with the large stitches. The background blocks were white and the stitching was in red. It was eye catching. The lady in the shop called it "primative quilting". I've seen a lot of antique quilts but have never seen stitching like that. I think she just made up the name but you might try a google search for that term.

Hello Barbara, I really like your pillow and will try the "big stitch" method one of these days.

I like to hand quilt, but I've never ever been a perfectionist about it. My stitches used to be tiny, but as my eyes have grown older :shock: my stitches became larger. I guess I big stitch quilt now. I love the look. I do primitive embroidery using the same stitch technique on borders to personalize.

Your pillow is so attractive in its simplicity.
