Well I’m on the last leg! Only 8 more of the coloured triangles to quilt and then I can bind it! I’m not sure what I’ll use yet but I might cut one of these two stripey fabrics on the bias and use it.
I’ve also been thinking about the Which way? quilt. I was going to machine quilt it but now I think I might hand quilt it with larger stitches and one of the Perle threads that arrived recently. What do you think? I’d be interested in your opinions.
Holy Cow that is gorgeous!! How big is it??

Hi Munaiba
Yes, I agree, this is exactly the sort of quilt that would look fantastic with those perle threads and informal sashiko stitching. Love the colours you’ve used.
Byee

I’m talking about the Which way? quilt not this one.Is that what you meant? This one has already been quilted by hand.
What a beautiful quilt. A bias stripy binding would finish it of spectacularly.
As for machine vs hand quilting, I strictly use my machine for everything – even sewing on buttons.
But, fear not! If you’re doing an allover design, you can put the thicker threads in your bobbin and quilt it upside down so the thicker thread ends up on the top!
I love the striped fabric for the binding, it would frame it so nicely :0)
As for an opinion for using the perle threads on the Which Way quilt….I’ve never done that type of quilting but if it’s what is playing out in your mind, I say go for it :0)
