| 10-12 stitches per inch |
|
This wall hanging type quilt was the first time I was able to achieve the 10-12 stitches per inch I wanted to prove I could do. Heirloom level quilting is what most hand quilters are looking to aspire to. I have not been quilting as long as most but I am able to do to a pretty damn good job. I have had people ask me how I get my sewing machine to do that stitch. Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment. ;) Lately I am working on getting even stitches on both front and back and therefore they are larger, but I like the look the larger stitch gives. Even stitches are more important to me than the actual stitch per inch count, but with each technique comes time and practice. I am happy to say this quilt was a huge achievement for me and I am proud to show it off.

I bound it in black as it was the only real logical solution given the backing fabric. As you can see below:

I love the way this one came together. I have two or three more left to do, but it will be a while before I do another. It is quilted with close to a half dozen different coloured threads...it was fun. About 200hrs went into this one.
