    Default How would you quilt this random thing?

    Hi all,

    This began as a project that I never expected to finish but now i have seen the topper laid out on the bed I cant not finish it! I get that it wont be to everyones taste but Im thrilled with it.

    So my question Is how should I quilt it without taking away from the crazyness but also without using SITD?

    Thanks everyone!

    I just finished a Warm Wishes baby quilt with this quilting design and it came out terrific. I think it would look great for your quilt.

    It's absolutely perfect for cross hatching! You don't even need to mark it, just sew diagonally from corner to corner across each block.

    If you want to do something more elaborate, orange peel or half orange peel along the horizontal and vertical seam lines would look great. Like this:

    I did this with a dsm and walking foot.

    Great ideas above ! You could do concentric circles ...big and small.

    I think an all over quilting pattern would work fine. Very pretty quilt.

    I would crosshatch it: sewing thru the center of the squares diagonally each way.

    i've done a crosshatch through the points of the blocks using the serpentine stitch on the machine... looks pretty good that way and very simple.

    This is really easy to do. I've done it on a DSM.
