It is beautiful! I love the colors also!

I did something of that sort on a quilt I am putting together of different kinds of houses- one is a bee hive, one is a bird house, etc. I have had stitched it all sort of embroidery style and left the edges to do their thing. I love the way it looks.

Thank you all so much for your kind comments. I'm afraid if you went too close to the stitches with a ruler, you would find they are not all as even as they might look.
It can be quite quick to do - if you don't keep undoing your work, which I confess I had to do on the smaller areas, to make the stitches finish in the right place when coming to a seam. I also found it better to start and finish on the back and not the front, as I was afraid of making holes in the front with the thicker cotton.
I do like the look the bigger contrasting stitches give it though, thanks for looking.

I love the look. It makes the pillow have a "finished" look. Good job and thanks for sharing :thumbup:

I have done my share of "big stitch" quilting. I love it. You don't get crazy trying to make the tiny stitches and the stitching goes so much quicker. I made one black wholecloth quilt where I just used the big stitch and circle stencils to overlap circles in 10 or 12 different colored cotton thread. It turned out beautifully.

I had a friend that did all of her quilts that way. I love it. Never tried it tho.

I can't find that episode on Simply Quilts. That is a strange site- HGTV. I saw a beautiful Gingerbread Quilt that I wanted instructions for and I can't find where to get them on the site. Any help would be appreciated.

I love it.

I had never seen or heard of big stitch quilting but I like what you did. It's beautiful.

I saw this before and swore I would try it, yours look so perfect!!! I think I will give this a try on my upcoming Christmas items. Thanks for reminding me about this. Wonderful job, you did.

I've never heard of big stitches but I love the way they look. I am definetly going to try this.
