    Default Help W/ choosing Machine Quilt Pattern

    I am making a signture quilt for my daughter for her wedding. I need help with what machine quilting pattern might work best for the basket weave blocks. Suggestions are welcome. I would like to not quilt over the signtures and messages on the blocks. Thanks for any help.

    can you show us an idea of what you're thinking.
    are you thinking of putting the signature in a feathered wreath,
    are the alternate blocks basket weave?

    Yes, a photo of what you have in mine would be helpful. Certainly putting the signatures in the center wreath sounds like a great idea. I have usually stitched thru the names.

    I would love to see a photo too - but I'm going to guess that you've got white or muslin for the signature portion and maybe many different colors in the patchwork portion? You could stitch in the ditch around all of the white or muslin blocks and maybe just stipple in a blending thread in the patchwork areas.

    I like the idea above of a feathered wreath with the signature inside but that could be a lot of work unless you are really comfortable with the quilting aspect. Is the quilt already pieced or are you planning ahead for the quilting?
