    Default The never ending quillow

    Ahhh, I have it washed up and ready to be delivered but the more I look at it I feel as if something is just not right. I think it really needs to be quilted like a real quilt...make sense? Yes I have the words etc embroidered i the sandwich but it just doesn't seem right! Would I be able to machine quilt lines around the letters etc so that it is more of a quilt? Or should I just do not touch and leave as it is?
    Maybe I am over thinking the whole thing ?

    I don't know what it looks like but if you don't think it's quite right, you would probably feel better adding the quilting to it. But I'm sure it looks great either way. : )

    Is there a pic somewhere that we can look at? Go with what you feel, but remember, sometimes less is more. That's really all I can tell you without seeing it, sorry.

    What does the batting package recommend for quilting distance? I would go by that......!

    Here are a few pics-the 'quilting' is difficult to see because of the busy fabric. The batting calls for 10 inches apart and that is what I did with the words and the butterflies.
    Maybe less is better in this case? And maybe it is just different which is why I feel as if it needs something? Different is OK as well yes?
