It was based (which means the back, batting, and top were layed out and then held together) and ready to be quilted. I kept putting it off until I finally found the courage to just do it. Ever since I've started quilting, I've been a hand quilter. I still love doing hand quilting, but it is nice to have both skills.
I've done machine quilting before but it was just straight stitches. This time I tried a method called stippling. It is free motion quilting, I just move the quilt around randomly and make this pattern. Because I made a tight pattern, it took longer than I thought it would. It took about four hours, but I finished it. It's not perfect, but this is the first of many to come! :)
It looks great!!!
ReplyDeleteit looks really cool! i'm glad you finally gave it a try.
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful. I might just have you do some of my quilts I have. Your work is just amazing. I love everything you have done so far.

ReplyDeleteyay!
ReplyDeletecongrats Sachiko it does look awesome. Did you get the email I sent you last month after Josh's birthday party?
ReplyDeleteWaouw: I tried for the first time this afternoon but I was a complete disaster. I took out the stitches and started hand quilting. But now that I've read your post, I won't give up.
