They are each surrounded by 2 inch sashing (red), then 2 inch sashing (black) connects all the blocks together.<br /><br />Xicapapoila - This is intended as a wall hanging, so the quilting is on a 1/4" scale.<br /><br />If I was going to use this as a bed quilt I would have kept at least 1" between the lines of quilting so the feel wasn't so stiff.<br /><br />As for quilting it, yes, the whole quilt was connected together, basted, and quilted in one single piece. It is more challenging, but if you use a thinner batting, the bulk of the quilt can be greatly reduced.<br /><br />When working on your quilt, try pushing and squishing the bulk of the quilt so it is behind the machine or to the left. Rotate the quilt so it's in a better position for you to see and move it. <br /><br />Don't try quilting if it doesn't feel natural! You can always shift the quilt somehow to make it work better.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />LeahLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674869334249298532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-62416607519444305192011-07-08T04:16:16.015-04:002011-07-08T04:16:16.015-04:00Beautiful quilt, Leah!

If it is to use, does that density of quilting affect the comfort/"cuddliness" alot? Another quick question: did you quilt as you go and then join the blocks with the sashing or did you assemble the whole quilt top and then quilt it? The reason i ask is because I am doing some free motion on the border of a large quilt and not being able to manipulate the direction the qilt has under the machine is affecting the qulaity of my free motion stitching.Xicapapoilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476476501477666297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-86205959852137512242011-07-07T20:01:19.771-04:002011-07-07T20:01:19.771-04:00Wonderful job!
