And then to have hand quilting as decoration you get the best of both worlds, in half the time. I just made 3 hexie mug rugs (I think you saw them) and I hand appliqued them on with teeny tiny stitches. They are almost perfect but boy did it take ages! I think I wil be machine stitching hexies next time! Your other quilt is looking great by the way :-) xSarah Ashfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845740667335808073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524960354656106962.post-70526418850613986042012-11-14T19:42:23.129+00:002012-11-14T19:42:23.129+00:00Love the table runner and birdies is going to be n...Love the table runner and birdies is going to be nicely framed.
