For instance if you stitch from - top to bottom - on the next pass do you stitch from bottom to top?Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09101540158088271850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-5509599194388466582010-06-23T07:40:28.557+10:002010-06-23T07:40:28.557+10:00I think you need to rename your blog Eye Candy.

I ...What an outstanding job of quilting you did ! <br />I love the green and blue and that would be my 'front side'........just my favorite color choice !<br /><br />You aren't kidding about the trouble you can get into with this type of quilting. I had to rip mine out, due to too-little basting and an untrustworthy walking foot ! I switched to meandering, which is much more forgiving after a good wash-and-dry.<br /><br />You deserve a ribbon for this quilting, girl !Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538342558750190865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-25100532171782443762010-06-23T04:02:01.525+10:002010-06-23T04:02:01.525+10:00Gorgeous!!

This is a fabulous quilt and you should be very proud of the end result!
