The project at Scrub Stitchin this year was a version of Simply Serene. I changed up the side of the blocks to larger and I made the set in triangles around the edge in the one fabric to make it the border. I do love it.
I wasn’t sure how to quilt this but on Chooky zoom we were discussing machine stitches. I love the look of the serpentine stitch. My machine only does a tiny one which isn’t suited to quilting but Susan said I could manually program it into my machine and store it into the memory for future. Oh yes please. Susan sent me the info on how to do this and IT WORKED. I am thrilled.
So this is how I quilted it.
My daughter loved it so much it was decided it would be for my grandsons 18th birthday. Now it’s all completed there is no rush later in the year.

Sorry Jo! not Jop😒
That's a great idea to program the stitch!!! Well done. Great for a young man's birthday!!!
Perfect! I need to have another go at this pattern with all my plaids.
That's a wonderful quilt for a young man.
I like the serpentine stitch effect. Much better than straight stitch which, with me, never ends up straight. I have a quilt to quilt upstairs so I might just trying programming that one in and learning. Thanks for the reminder.
Love the Serpentine stitch, the quilt looks wonderful Jo.
