Painfully slow quilting!

Piecing is fun, but the quilting bit is harder! I have been doing some wiggly quilting, with roses at each sash junction on the big quilt, and some in-the-ditch and big hand stitching on the squares. More wiggly quilting on the pillow. It is slow progress, and my fingers hurt from unpicking!

    Your squiggly quilting looks great - I've just been doing this for the first time too - I love the effect of it but my problem is more on the back of the quilt where I keep getting the wrong bit of fabric caught up (resulting in lots of unpicking!)- I'm hoping more safety pins and practice will help remedy this. Your quilting looks stunning x
