Here is a picture of my latest finished work. I purchased the fabric when we were in the states last year. It is a very simple pattern, using rectangles. The quilting was done in the ditch. Now it’s a little too warm most nights to use a quilt, but it will be nice when our next cold season rolls around.
Joy, the quilting part of the quilt always seemed more plausible by hand also. One thing I find interesting with quilting, as you say this is a ‘simple’ pattern, but most patterns can be broken down into ‘simple’ patterns. The thing is that they all–simple or more complicated patterns–are an investment in time and love. Your colors are so bright and cheerful. They will be a pepper upper to your room. Donevy
Judy, I do both. On this quilt, I sewed the quilt top together by machine, did the quilting by hand, and then finished the binding with the machine. You can do the quilting by machine, but I’ve found that to be more difficult; it’s hard to keep it from getting puckered underneath.
Do you quilt by hand or machine? (I would like to quilt but using a machine makes it seem more possible for *me*.)
