The hexagon sphere is finally quilted! I think I need one more week for washing, binding and taking pictures-somewhere outside.
And here is the tip for Quilter’s Favorites.
My favorite needles for (free motion) quilting – Topstitch needles (#100/16 or #90/14). They have a large eye, meaning less chances for the thread to break.
You can see below the difference between an universal needle, a quilting needle (sharp point) and a topstitch needle (big eye).
If the thread keeps breaking I change the needle.
And I always test its point: if it is dull and does not prick or it leaves a scratch on my fingernail it is time to change it.

Love your quilting design! The quilt is beautiful.
Awesome quilting! Thanks for showing enlarged needles, too. Maybe if I looked at them through a magnifying glass it would help. I can never tell any difference when looking at them. But I do like the topstitching needles for quilting as well.
Your quilting is amazing! The design is perfect! Thank for the tip about needles!
Yay! and thank you for continuously educating us and making us enthusiastic about quilting! Hugs.
I can't wait to see more of it!

absolutely stunning…your hexies are perfect…and with the colour fabrics you chose..well what can I say ….they are perfect
Geta – this is one wonderful, beautiful quilt! You must be very proud of your achievement in unique design and exquisite workmanship. I am interested to read that you are going to wash the quilt – do you prefer to do this to all your quilts? If so do you just 'wet' them to achieve effect or do you use a soap detergent to clean it after handling it so?
