Donation quilt
This quilt, plus two others, (and a baby sweater and hat that I crocheted a few months ago) is gone to a good cause. My grandchildren took them to the "Adopt A Family" project at their college. Isn't that nice. My plan was to utility quilt this one using the Methodist Knot stitch. I used a 3 inch Soft Sculpture Doll needle and pearl cotton size 12. And that worked fine. But I didn't work so fine, I simply didn't find the time to sit down and do it. Eventually, after completing only a couple of rows of the utility stitch, I wanted to finish up this quilt and send it to the Adopt A Family in time for the deadline. So I adjusted my sewing machine and machine quilted it with a wave stitch.

The wave stitch looks really good on it -- a nice contrast to the straight lines of the strips. Someone is going to love this quilt!
Cute little quilt. I'm sure it will be greatly loved.
What is Methodist Knot Stitch? How? Why? Inquiring quilters want to know!
I think your wavy stitch looks grand and a lot faster than tying. I often tie with perle cotton as well as quilt with it. But there is nothing fast about that! A great donation, three cheers for your giving heart. Hugs, Finn
