Quilting Finished


I finished quilting the blue-and-white Kaleidoscope quilt yesterday afternoon.  It was a good feeling...

I sewed a line on each side of the vertical and horizontal seams that connected the blocks together.


Then, I sewed a line that zigzagged across and down the white diamonds, only on the white fabric...



....crossing at the intersection of the points by stitching in the ditch.  It took two passes of stitching for each row of diamonds.



I'm pleased the way the quilting turned out...

 

...and will work on the binding tomorrow!

    Very pretty! I still haven't even pin basted my kaleidascope quilt. When I do, I will do the free motion that I usually do. I like your style of quilting on this one.
