It was a gift for my husband who moved to Germany from the US and I took the impression of flying over the Midwest as my theme. So many different, irregular patches of green&amp;brown. Maybe not the most colorful/beautiful, but very meaningful for us. Since I had to quilt it with my domestic machine as well I went with the same method as you and quilted each fabric in another way. <br />I just wish I had read your tension hints before, since the back of my quilt shows &quot;eyelashes over eyelashes&quot;... ;)Katzenomahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03422130116248062186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25490800.post-56261139002777124542012-01-11T13:54:49.749-08:002012-01-11T13:54:49.749-08:00Ok, that tip about only putting batting in the middle? BRILLIANT. Wish I&#39;d thought of that two years ago, the last time I quilted, when I made an oversized-queen for my MIL!! (Seriously...it&#39;s taken me two years to get up the gumption to start quilting again. I did a small project last night, and it felt good!)Aunt LoLohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09945247325982035591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25490800.post-50863912737645233022012-01-10T15:53:28.632-08:002012-01-10T15:53:28.632-08:00Your quilting on these blocks is fantastic! I think it took me a while to understand the pattern didn&#39;t have to be an all-over one but each block could have it&#39;s own set of patterns.beth lehmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02782749074922119961noreply@blogger.com
