I completed the longarm quilting on a friend's memory quilt this weekend.
I quilted it with the design from Urban Elementz called Marmalade. I did not quilt over the photos this time. I did a general stipple around them. They seemed to be more fragile and of different quality than the photos on her last memory quilt. I felt I only had one chance to get the stitches right and did not want to have to rip them out more than once over a photo.
The fabrics seemed to be fleece. Some were thicker than others and the quilting sunk into the fabric. It was hard to see where I was on some of the squares. Other squares show off the quilting. This quilt marks the last quilt I will take in for others for 2022. I need to get a few of my projects quilted. It's getting colder. I don't know how many quilting days I have left to spare.
Good job getting that quilt done so fast! I think you made the correct decision about the stitching around those photos.
