Of course the obvious one is stitch in the ditch, but I thought your creative genius may have an idea for another simple pattern achievable on a domestic machine. Thanks in advance for your help.

I just do FMQ, I never do any fancy quilting. I do a large stipple on my DSM because I love the looks and I love doing it.

See if you can find the Dresden Plate quilt that was posted this week. It has what I have heard referred to as a railroad track border treatment. It looks good on a piano key border and is done in a continuos line. I will try to describe it....you sew down the middle of the key and do a rounded end and sew down the middle of the next piano key and do another rounded end and so on.
Instead of stitch in the ditch on the piano key, do a squigle or serpentine stitch down the middle of the key rather than the seam. Maybe use a varigated thread.
I just finished a t-shirt quilt for a Band Director and put a piano keyboard along the two sides. Since I'm a newbie on my LA, I just did an all-over FMQ on it. My heart wanted to use some cute stencils I found with musical notes on them, but my mind knew that I didn't have the skill to make them look good just yet. She loved her quilt.
I treat it as a solid and do whatever I might do. I hand quilt, so i might do cross-hatching or a rope border, maybe a bishops fan......I have many border stencils, and would use one of them. The last thing I do is stitch in the ditch - it's hard and if i spend the time quilting - i want people to see my stitches!!
