Photo Album - Meander Examples

This type of quilting is done freehand using various different designs.  The advantage over pantograph quilting is that particular thread colors or designs can be used in different sections and there is no repeat pattern ("bedspread quilting"), however the quilting is less complex than custom quilting.
