Your choice of border fabric is bold and sets of the more rigid multicoloured hexagons in an unexpected way, but so correct as it seems like some other worldly foliage.<br /><br />I always quilt with a hoop in my lap. I prefer an oval hoop, but use round ones too, as they are smaller and can pack in suitcases if I need to travel with a W I P. <br /><br />When you say that quilting should be a together activity, one thinks of working together around a frame - which I have certainly done too. However, when you can pick your quilt up and move around the house with it, you can be together with your family or friends. <br /><br />all is good.xJudy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3216063428148657498.post-37483078973035687592014-02-25T18:48:57.795-08:002014-02-25T18:48:57.795-08:00Love the look of this quilt.

I've found that if I make sure my needle is completely vertical when it enters the fabric for each stitch, that my stitches are smaller and more consistent in size whether or not I use a hoop, frame or just quilt on my lap.Judymchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06155289055650842847noreply@blogger.com
