I changed my mind. I had planned to hand quilt this, but as I was loading it on the long arm for basting, I decided to machine quilt instead. I realized hand quilting through those layers of applique was not going to be fun and would likely take forever.
So today, I will be slow stitching, but it will be binding rather than quilting.
Have. Great day!

Looking great!
It is gorgeous and the fans quilting is lovely!!
When you baste a quilt for hand quilting, how far apart are your stitches and how big are your stitches? I am working on my first hand quilted quilt and I took it to a longarm to get basted. I wasn’t really sure what to ask her for. We ended up deciding on 2″ stitches about 4.5″ apart. Thank you.
Good choice! Enjoy binding.
