Finished but not :-(

Late last night I put the finishing touch on a WH. When I woke this morning
and looked at it, I decided it still needs more work.

Question - The WH is all done in machine quilting, diagonal wavy triple
lines at 3" intervals. I'm now thinking I'd like to add leaves in these
open spaces. Would it be okay to do the leaves in hand quilting? The quilt
police will never see this, but I'm wondering if the results would look odd?

yes you can and no it won't - many quilters do this - so come on over and
join the "gang" ;-)

I think it's a wonderful idea, Bonnie. Don't know if judges at a quilt show
would get a bee in their bonnet about it or if you care. Sounds very pretty
and 'just what you need'. Polly

Do it. Combining techniques has been
done for ages. It would not be odd at
all, but if you later decided to enter
this into a fair or show, deciding on
category might be an issue. PAT

Since my quilts will never be entered in any type of competition I guess
I'll do what my
head tells me is right. Thanks for the nod :-)

Pat, my quilts will never be in any competition. I do them for my own
pleasure and the thought of competition would take all my pleasure away.

I have customers do this all the time. I'll do some basic machine quilting
to stabilize the quilt, which gives them lots of time to do the hand
quilting while using the quilt.
