Thread: How would you quilt this ?

I won't offer any more advice on the quilting - all the previous threads have given you lots of ideas I'm sure - just wanted to say for a 'newbie' quilter that is one very good quilt - love your colour choices a very big well done.

Because it is so angular, I would probably do a wavy pattern thru the sashing. Then a decorative stitch thru the black areas within each block. I would probably use black thread, but if the backing is solid black, I might use something a bit different in the bobbin. Nice looking - for a beginner, you did a great job. I love to start my students on this type of quilt - maximum impact with minimum matching!!!!

In the ditch only. I don't believe it needs any more quilting. The shape and colors are the design.If any more quilting, then perhaps 1/4" inside the sashing strips between blocks but not the black strips in each block.

Thanks every one.
I have learned so much on this site from all the members .

I wouldn't use white. This is beautiful piecing work, and if you use white, that's all you'll see, I think.

I agree, use black, a decorative stitch in the sashing. I'd stitch in the ditch in the squares but only because that's about all I can do, not having FMQ experience or skills. Others have good ideas about what to do in the squares.

Definitely no white thread. Don't know if you've ever used invisible thread, but I've used it twice and will never use it again. Stitch in the ditch around all the sashing and the borders with black thread. I've been using the decorative stitches on my machine quite a lot lately. Either use black or a bright colored varigated thread to sew decorative stitches on the black areas.
