Need some help with this quilting question?

Stitch in the ditch is about the best bet if you don't want to put the quilt on a frame and do it by hand. You might also consider taking the quilt to a professional who has a quilt machine and they can do a pattern or do it freehand. It will cost you some money but may alleviate your fears...you could also consider tying the quilt in close proximity sometimes it can look okay. I don't like to hand quilt at all and prefer doing it on my machine as much as possible. I have done a lot of quilting free hand on my machine and then put the pieces together..it turned out great.
