Quilting over sashiko

Helen from Gatton asked for the forever flower pattern on her blue quilt.  Helen from Toowoomba made a sashiko quilt which is being quilted with the budget leaf meander pattern in a charcoal thread to blend in with the background fabric.  The thread colour also does not detract from the sashiko, and the e2e pattern is a cost-effective method to machine quilt this type of quilt.

Quilt sashays in from Banora Point, NSW

This colourful sashiko quilt from Trish at Banora Point, NSW is being quilted with the dragonflies e2e machine quilting pattern.  KoolKat Quilting chose a charcoal thread to blend with the background of the sashiko panels and this has minimal impact as the photos above demonstrate.  We also use this technique for applique, candle-wicking, red-work or any similar quilting where there are feature blocks.
