    I defintely have to do this!, it just "makes" this quilt and I cannot seem to get the hang of hand quilting with the small stitches. Beautiful job.

    The big stitches achieved a lot of motion that normal quilting would not have done. I like the nautical theme. How did you make the lighthouses?

    Susy, this is good practice for you in case you ever want to try hand quilting. :thumbup:

    The lighthouses are batik panels I bought at the Lancaster Quilt Show this year!
    Thanks for the kind words!
