That is so cute and old fashioned looking. Thanks so much for sharing that with us. I know how I am going to quilt my scrappy quilt I am working on for our bed now. :wink:

Love it. I had never heard of it but will keep it in mind for future baby quilts.
Thanks for sharing.

Would you still have to pin or baste the quilt if using this technique of handquilting?

nanabirdmo

carol w, since this is a hand stitch and i use a 14 inch hoop to hold it, i do baste rather than pin. i radiate the basting from the center out. it seems to be the most secure basting method. saw it in an old book at the library. the pins would get in the way of the hoop. i pin when i am machine quilting.
