Quick Quilting

As you may know, I'm a patchworker far more than I'm a quilter: I tend to go for minimal, in-the-ditch quilting if I have to do anything, and even then I shoot off the edges, or fall out of the ditch far more often than I'm happy with. Part of my reluctance is that I don't want to spend more time on this quilt: I want to get on with the next one!

 However, this top needed to be quilted

 

So I pulled on my big girl pants, and quilted free range echo lines either side of the zigzagged seams.   I didn't worry about going straight exactly to the seam and turning, instead I curved around it, and that made it much easier and much quicker

And I used grey top and bottom, so the curves showed on the back of the quilt too

I'm rather chuffed with this

I then machine stitched grey Spraytime border (one of my favourite go-to fabric ranges) and this is now in the rather monstrous pile waiting to have the binding hand stitched to the back
