Can I quilt with Sashiko? I tried to stitch Sashiko for quilting. This is how it turned out.

Thank you for watching! In this video, I stitched Sashiko on the layers of fabric with quilt wadding between them. I basically followed the usual Sashiko process and used the usual Sashiko tools. So, this may be a bit different to the conventional hand quilting. I made this project small as I had no idea if it would work or not. I am hoping to try it again with a larger project (but not too large one yet). As I mentioned in the video, I have no experience or knowledge in quilting. So I don’t even know if it turned out well or not, or how to tell what is good and what is a mistake. If you have any advice for me, please leave your comment! The batting I used was 60% wool and 40% polyester. It was very easy to stitch but I would love to know if you have any recommendations for batting too. The pattern I stitched is called “Masuzashi“. “Masu“ is a square wooden cup used as a measuring cup (for rice, sake, etc.). I drew five layers of squares but there are a lot of variations of this pattern.
