practising quilting

I decided to use the practise rainbow quilt to do some practise quilting, before I attempt to quilt the rainbow quilt. I'm really pleased with it, for the first time I seem to have control of the tension on the back!
now I just wished that I'd pressed the coloured seams inwards, and trimmed of all the loose threads - which on close inspection show through


which is why we practise things!

  5. I zoomed in and had a closer look and it is really lovely. I guess it is machine quilting? Did you follow a pattern or just go with the flow? And do you have a special quilting arm for your machine. Oops too many questions!
