Beautiful..love the big stitches. Never heard of 'big stitch quilting' before but it looks great on your pillow. Thank you for sharing.

Looks fantastic...there is also an interesting thread on "Turkey Tracks" - which here we call "Fly Stitch" and also known as "Crow Feet" http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-26051-1.htm - you may want to check it out, as like the big stitch, could add that extra bit of interest to a piece.

I recently purchased a Singer Featherweight machine from a quilter. We had quite the visit at her home. This is where I first saw big stitch quilting. She was working on a pink lap or crib quilt with white stitching.

I have trouble with arthritis so I can't do the hand quilting I would like to do. However, I think big quilting might work if I don't do it all the time.
