    Advice Please - How Would You Quilt This ???

    Hello! This is a 45" square wall hanging. I think I'll do some sid and/or shadowing for the borders but what to do for the center??? I don't do many panels. I've done some free motion on my janome but nothing too complicated yet. Ideas?? Thanks 😊

    what a beautiful wallhanging! For the panel, how about following the lines in the flag stripes, the lines around the eagle and the lines on the wings, outline the stars, etc?

    This would be my suggestion as well. Depends on your batting as well - how far apart can you quilt??

    Good point. It's warm and natural 100% cotton so I don't think the stitching has to be really tight. Love all the ideas. Thanks!

    I've used this panel in a couple of quilts for QOV. One LA gal followed the lines on the eagle and the waving lines on the flag. The other did an all over stars & stripes pattern. Both were great.
