1 Attachment(s)
Here is a pic of my very very first quilt top, as you can see it's a mixed sampler which I made at a weekly class. Photos is a few weeks old & the border have been added since.

I would like to machine quilt for speed but I am definitely not up to fmq.......shall I stick to in the ditch and echo etc.

ALL suggestions gratefully received ladies.

Thanks, ellie xx

I agree with stitch 1\4 inch away from the seams. It is absolutely beautiful!

Amazing job. Love the colors. Stitch in the ditch and echo would look great!

Well, you did a fabulous job on this, your first quilt. I would keep that teacher close by. Just wonderful.

To stitch in the ditch would be quite an undertaking by hand or machine but would be beautiful on the front and back.

An all over pattern would get it done fast.

It is so wonderful I would have to ask myself which style would do it the most justice and go from there.

peace
