Hand quilting patterns for a beginner?
#1
Hello all... hope you've had a lovely day... I've been practicing my hand quilting, first on a printed pattern piece about 25" square, then on a doll quilt I'd made from a kit I found in my mother's quilting treasures. My stitches are improving, but that last tie off is still pretty messy...
For more practice, I found a beginning piece I made years ago.. It's a table runner with three blocks: Jacob's ladder, churn dash and an Ohio Star. It already has a border triangular ends.
Here's my question... Where can I find some easy quilting patterns? I've come to you first, and will be searching myself online, but I figured you might be able to point me in a direction..
Thanks for your help!!

I hand quilt what ever design I want onto a quilt. If you have something very basic... I usually choose a fluid/flowing design..... For appliqué I usually hand quilt a grid in the background.
Please post again, and maybe we can give you a few more suggestions.

My first handquilting was done with outline quilting, 1/4" in from every seam (so you don't have the seam allowance to sew through). You can pretty much eyeball that, but it would be easy to mark also. They make a 1/4 inch tape too.
