    I'm generally a hand quilter, sitting at a sewing machine is just torture for me. But with the small pieces and the timeline, I won't be able to hand quilt. I'm pretty sure I'm just using flannel for the back and batting layer so it won't be a big deal how closely it is quilted. On the machine I can do SID or straight line and that is it. Just not sure what to do with this. I want it close enough that it will be sturdy, but I don't want to take away from the pattern or make it stiff.

    I am so open to suggestions on how to finish.

    It's beautiful! I think this pattern is very pretty when worked up, but can't imagine working with such tiny pieces. Nice job!

    This is for my Granddaughter. This is a project to keep me busy while waiting for my Son and his daughter to move close to home. He is in the military and will be finishing up in August. I can't wait to have them close!
