Sashiko quilting

When I started quilting, I went to the public library and check out a bunch of books on quilts and quilting. I was fascinated by so many styles and techniques. And fell in love with sashiko quilting.

Blue is my favorite color and I thought it was really amazing what could be done by contrasting dark blue fabric and white stiches.

I haven't hung them yet, but I am thinking of using bambu sticks.


I love the big stiches. I think with time I can get them more uniform.
