Anita Goodesign machine embroidery patterns are always a big hit with me, they sew out so nicely.
I just fell in love with the Nature Sketches designs and even though they took
forever to sew out, the finished blocks are so worth it. I decided to make them into a single bed quilt for my grandaughter if she likes it.

I quilted the sides using masking tape in a chevron pattern, which went very well. Then came the middle and I did not want to take away from the designs so stitched "in the ditch" using my ordinary sewing machine. I do not like stitching in the ditch, and I admit I am not very good at it, also coping with all the fabric is a nightmare on the back and shoulders. Breathing a sigh of relief I have finished it and added the binding. I will leave sewing the binding to the back until I need a sit down project, as I always do this by hand.
