HELP How would you quilt this ???
I saw this table runner in a magazine I borrowed from a friend. It was called Afternoon on a Porch. I made some minor changes because I didn't want to have to match up so many seams if you made each section as a block (written instructions). I have had this Candy cane fabric from JAF (been on the shelf for years). When I saw this pattern, the bells and whistle went off. I shrunk the pattern down in order to make a table runner. I thought I would use a smooth S curve stitch on my Bernina 1530 rather than a straight stitch. But after trying 6 of the possible stitches, nothing looked like I had imaged. So, I am looking for some easy quilting ideas. No feathers please. I am disable and those are difficult with the lack of proper motor skills. Thanks for any suggestions you toss my way !!

That is certainly a bright and cheery table runner! I'm a novice at quilting myself so really can't offer any good suggestions for you. Good luck - I'm sure someone on the board will be able to give you some guidance.

Follow the flow of the piecing. So a row of feathers or holly, like a previous poster suggested, in the red and one in the red/white. I had a similar donation quilt and I did feathers. The quilt I did had one row white and one row floral. I quilted purple in the white row. I could see white Holly in the red rows and red in the white/red rows. this is a very nice quilt with a classic feel.
