Almost A Log Cabin - Quilted


The "Almost A Log Cabin" is quilted!  In order to have the grid cross the center of each block the quilting is spaced at about 2.75".   I like the look of simple grids -- must be why I also like needlepoint and cross stitch.

I was asked about the time difference in quilting on a home machine vs on a longarm.  Since I don't currently do free motion on my Elna it isn't a straight comparison, if I had done the quilting on my old longarm I would have used a panotgraph and the result would be totally different.  With that in mind, my estimate is that it takes me about about 8 times longer to do the quilting on a home machine vs longarm.
