I'd be so grateful :) <br />~Rebecca<br /><br />rktunnell {at} gmail {dot} comRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770384582734678303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-18933735258228319302012-12-21T10:06:10.461+11:002012-12-21T10:06:10.461+11:00I lOVE this quilt!

A quilt teacher I know keeps telling us that a quilt with straight lines (squares, rectangles, etc.) must have curves in the quilting and a quilt with applique must have straight line, gridded quilting. Your quilt mightily disproves that. I am just getting ready to quilt a large quilt and I really want straight lines on all those rectangles and squares.

I have a question about the quilting (p.s. I am a HUGE fan of your straight-line quilting): How does the narrow quilting affect the texture of the quilt? I mean, if you do this particular amount of quilting (which I love, by the way), does it make your quilt more like a mat? I'm not using the right words, but can you describe how you think the quilt changes depending on how much quilting is done? I am also interested in the other commenter's question about what batting you prefer. I have been using Warm n White or Natural, but they seem so thin!<br /><br />Thanks! I'm a n00b, and I get a lot of inspiration from your blog!Tennjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01397113148008290316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-88872010950451354252011-03-19T05:15:12.973+11:002011-03-19T05:15:12.973+11:00That is one adorable baby quilt and of couse those...That is one adorable baby quilt and of couse those quilting lines are impeccable.
