I've been quilting the Collector Series by hand with the big stitch using a DMC crochet cotton in black. I have most of the blocks outlined and now I can go back and outline the applique. I love using the black thread for quilting in a prim quilt.
Congratulations on a lovely job, now the fun part of the final quilting design.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what you do it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! Thanks for the big stitch inspiration. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is the perfect quilt for big stitch. I like using the spool floss for large stitches, easier to use and cheaper since I can use a coupon for one spool.

Debbie, DMC crochet cotton comes on a roll and in different sizes and goes further than spool floss since the rolls are larger and is less expensive than floss.

Stunning Nancy. I love applique, prim, and Jan Patek. Have fun
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to make this quilt. Yours is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI don't know when I am going to get back to working on the Collector blocks. Seeing yours is inspiring. I need more time!
ReplyDeleteLove your Collector Series, Nancy! I have the patterns/kits from Jan Patek to do one of these days. I'll give the big stitch quilting a try, I do love the look! Thanks for the inspiration!
