So you can accept us both I hope. <br />My thoughts - do the machine quilting. It takes YEARS to quilt a quilt that densely, and QAYG is brilliant.

I wouldn't unpick to get the scrap out just cut it till it comes away.marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996325525301046700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833074465049859362.post-84122157141297425032012-04-23T22:45:55.216+01:002012-04-23T22:45:55.216+01:00Hi Nicky,

Your hand quilting is lovely but are you likely to continue with it or just put it back in the cupboard?

Ya, ...I love your hand quilting. It is beautiful. <br /><br />Ya, I've caught the wrong bits in my sewing before. It is never a good thing. You could always do a little needle turn applique and just leave it there. Or NOT.<br /><br />Your spools are beautiful too. The solids look great.Cindy Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694393041670847676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833074465049859362.post-21052520017923259912012-04-23T14:53:13.997+01:002012-04-23T14:53:13.997+01:00Bugger on the scrap attachment!

That had to be unpicked, and then carefully re-stitched.
