Well after many hours of quilting. It’s done! I started off by using a walking foot to stitching in the ditch every straight line you can see on the quilt, then I became very adventurous and free motion quilted some stenciled designs on to some of the blocks. Then I got a bit tired of this method of quilting and moved on to free motion meander quilting and quilted around some of the blocks. Then finally I was fed up! I pulled out my embroidery machine attachment and attached it to my sewing machine and hooped up the remaining blocks and quilted them with embroidery designs. Here are some notes in PDF format to explain Machine Quilting, using walking foot and free motion quilting.
I have decided to “eat” the frogs that are staring @ me! Next week I hope to have eaten the crochet diagonal blanket and started the new quilt that I mentioned in my post “The Plan” dated, June 8, 2013,
Hope to show you some pictures of the “new” guestroom I’m just waiting for the new curtains to arrive, furniture and walls are painted!
Have a happy week!

Wow! This is absolutely gorgeous! A real keeper. And to think you quilted it all on a small domestic machine. I am always in awe of people who do that. Beautiful!
Thanks Pam
I didn’t know you could embroider quilted items… Now there’s food for thought… That aside, really liking this quilt! How long did it take in total and what are the dimensions? A x
I started it in Jan 2012. So that makes it 22 months! Size 84” x 102”.

Well done, and quilted on a domestic? I just piece as you go now, saves all that struggle!
I have not used the quilt as you go method! Must give it a go!
What an amazing quilt, it’s a work of art! 🙂
Thanks Sarah.
Very beautiful quilt – and red and white is such a classic combination. Lovely work.
Thank you.
This is amazing!
Thanks Hannah.
My aunt makes quilts similar to that so I can appreciate the dedication and love that goes into producing them. It is a lost skill–keep it up:)
Thanks Alicia.
WOW! You are more patient than I am. I haven’t done a quilt that meticulous, and you did an amazing job!
Thank you.
That’s absolutely amazing! I’m really keen to start quilting but not too sure where to start. The colours you’ve chosen work beautifully together. You’ve inspired me!
Reckon I need to read a little further . . . what does “eat the frogs” mean?? love the quilt, by the way!!
Thanks for reading my post. “Eat the frog” means if you told you have to eat the frog. What will you do eat it or sit and stare at it! Well this is me finishing my unfinished project. So I’m “eating the frog”, hehe
They tast pretty good!
Love
Nikki
