I gave machine quilting a try on my “manly” quilt but I just didn’t like it so I unpicked it and re-quilted with 12wt cotton big stitch hand quilting. It’s going to take longer but I think I’ll be happier with it and it will look much better.
I took the quilt to the Greater Western Sydney Quilt Guild where Amy of Badskirt re-named it the Chevron Explosion which I think is a much more dynamic name and I intend to use it. She also took a photo of the progress so far.

You will be happier. Good trying you will never know if you like it, if you didn’t try.
Glad to see the Manly Quilt coming along! I think you are just destined to be a hand quilter only. You do such a great job at it. I think it brings you peace, too.

Definitely looking good… This sort of quilting suits your style!
The big stitch looks so much better than the machine stitches…I hate to sound redundant but I just love your work, Munaiba. Like the new name for the Manly quilt too
Thanks Annette. It’s always nice to hear that someone likes your work.
I would sure like to get that pattern. Your quilt is very nice
Hi Sharon
I don’t have a pattern. I designed this quilt myself.
Regards
Munaiba
