Very nice and the decorative stitching really adds to this. I like the idea of the twin needle. After all the years sewing and all the quilting done, I never once thought of using the twin needle. You got me thinking now!

Great job! Can't wait to see what your next project will be...if you're anything like me, you'll do something smaller while you re-group.

Hello and thankyou, I saw the use of the twin needle on another quilt from a club i am in. and played around on my janome horizon with patterns that can be used with the twin needle. I also brought the 3 different sizes that are available for my machine. After I did the twin stiching around each square I felt it would be good to do it as the main type of quilting for all of it. I also used the walking foot that comes with my machine.

Lovely quilt. The colors go so well together. The quilting is wonderful. But I was trying to figure out where the 1420 pieces are. That is quite a challenge.

Hi if you look at the second picture it shows green and white material there are tiny tri angles in the same material. in the original pattern it had two different colours but i wonted it to look like a frame.
