I made this quilt 2 years ago. Its a scrap/stashbuster, and my first effort at traditional quilting. Its a lightweight Spring/Summer quilt. I’ve made many pieced blankets, but they were never actually quilted, they were tufted. Here I assembled each individual block with its own batting, and quilted along the seam lines, which was challenge enough for me as a beginner. Maintaining even surface tension along the block is very tricky, and is the reason why I shied away from quilting for a long time. This is why some folks send their completed quilt tops to be professionally quilted in a shop, where the machines are large enough to handle such a project that would be unfeasible in a home setting. Would I try my hand at small scale quilting again? Most definitely, as I’m pleased with the results of having a “battened down blanket”, and practice makes perfect!

I’m new to quilting and this stash busting phenom sounds like a winner to me. For those that are into unique you can’t beat “stash busting” for one-of-a-kind creations. 😉
Something you wrote above reminded me of a book I am working my way through now, “That Perfect Stitch: The Secrets of Fine Hand Quilting”, Second Edition by Dierdra A. McElroy. You might find it useful also. Just paying it forward.
Keep up the good work.
Chers,
