Hand Quilting With Large Stitches
I love all of the Japanese style quilts with the large stitch quilting. I'd also like to see that technique used in other style of quilts too. EG: colorful kids' quilts, artsy quilts, etc. Anyone ever done this? What materials, thread, tools do you use?

I have recently noticed this and am thinking about doing some of it on a child's quilt. I think I will use a contrasting thread and maybe double it rather than just single thread I use when I hand quilt.

It reminds me of my first quilting projects as a kid. But I like the "new" look. With my hands going to sleep often this might be an answer to use on a few UFO that I keep passing up. My 3 quilter Gma's would have a fit if they could see this. LOL

I think large stitch quilting would look great on a primitive type quilt. I am going to make a quilt in darker country colors with primitive applique on it and I think I will try the big stitch quilting on it using thicker thread. Thanks for the idea!
