I showed this quilt top in sewing a few days ago, but it is now promoted to projects as it has been quilted in the hoop of my embroidery machine. This was the first time the quilting hoop had been out of its packaging but I think it will see more use now!

Awesome work for sure hugs

Beautiful Quilt! i like your backing side too, hugs Maria

That's beautiful, love the quilting design.
Hugs, Lidia

I've used fleece as a backing both with and without batting. It gives a nice cuddly finish and is easy to work with. You should try it!

Sue, your quilt has turned out very nice.

Thanks for showing the back. Did you hoop the quilt? or use a stabilizer and pin it on? I have a crib size quilt that I'm going to try this on. Love your work. Avis

The quilt was hooped. No stabiliser!

WOW! that is gorgeous. Love your fabric choice. Thank you for showing the back also. Beautiful quilt. You have to be so so happy with it.

I really enjoy seeing your quilt! I think ME and quilting go hand-in-hand and enhance each other. Good job!

I just love this!! How did you connect your "In-the-hoop" blocks?

They aren't ith blocks. The patchwork was the quartered stripes quilt from MSQC made on the sewing machine. I just did the quilting on the embroidery machine.

Very pretty and nice job!!

The quilting looks great on both sides. A lovely test of your hooop and quiltdesign!!

Gorgeous! So how big of a hoop did you use? Amazing!

The quilting design is 195mm square to fit my 200mm blocks. My quilting hoop is 220mm square so plenty big enough.

That is so pretty! Great job!

Nicely done! I do almost all of my quilting these days in the hoop...

Love the colors. It is beautiful. Haven't tried machine quilting on quilts yet but this just may motivate me to try. Thank you for sharing.

What a great job you have done. The back is as lovely as the front. Nicely done.

It is fabulous! How long did it take to work it? 30 hoopings?

Each one only took 5 minutes to stitch, but a lot longer to hoop!

Wow , looks fantastic!

Looks great. Lots of wrangling with the fabric I imagine but so worth it by the looks of it

What a job but oh so nice!
