I visited a quilt shop in Albuquerque that was absolutely gorgeous. The quilts they had on display were works of art. One quilt I particularly was interested in had a zig zag stitch sewn down each seam in place of SID. I wish I had made a picture, but I am going to try it soon.

Mind sharing your secret stitch with us? I'm intrigued.

Thanks,

if you like the idea of yellow varigated thread I would look for a backing that would do with that something floral or a design that I could quilt around and do upside down quilting to follow the design

I just finished quilting a yellow brick road. I used a bright colored thread and quilted diagonally 3 inches apart. I am pleased with the result.

I made a blue and yellow YBR and had it quilted (I won free LA quilting from a website) with hearts and loops. With straight-line blocks, it's usually best to quilt with a design that has curves :)

Just saw this (I don't get e-mails right now)
I am at work and don't have access to my pictures. However I am leaving right after work for a long weekend in San Francisco for a wedding. I know I show the stitch in some of my pictures of quilts in the past. If I can i will post when I get home but I don't think I will have time. I have only about 45 min to pack and get on the road.

Have a wonderful weekend. I'll take a pic at some of your pics and see if I can see what you're referring to.

Thanks,

Thanks,
I wish I could somehow draw it for you. It looks kinda like a curve with a circle in it and then reversed every other stitch.

AMAZING! That's the same quilt of yours I just bookmarked!! Two great minds, ha ha. :thumbup: I figured by your explanation that was probably the stitch you were talking about. Yay! Now, I'll have to go see if any of my machines have anything similar to this.

Thanks so very much!! I really appreciate it! :D
