Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Hi everyone
I have been looking at this and not sure how to quilt it.
Now remember i,m a new quilter so nothing fancy .
Was thinking of using invisible thread and doing a ditch stick just on the black parts.
Then i thought of white but i,m not sure if it would stand out to much.
Or what about sewing down the centre of the black with white thread.
Thanks for the help

If your machine has decorative stitches, I'd use black thread and do a decorative stitch through the middle of each black strip. But first stitch in the ditch around each sashing strip and do a decorative stitch through the middle of those too.
Exactly what I was thinking. it's looks great now, but will look awesome when you're finished.
A quilt is like a good life. It's full of mistakes, but, in the end, it looks pretty good.
Very pretty. I made a king quilt in stained glass pattern and had it quilted w/a meandering stitch in black. Didn't take away from the design....

Very pretty! I agree with the stitch in the ditch with black thread.
I just had another idea... using a walking foot you could do angled lines over each block, like the angles in your piecing, only a different pattern--black thread. Keep within each block and then do a decorative stitch in one of your colors, like a curlique or something, in the sashing and outer border. Can't explain it very well, but I see it in my mind and it would look really cool with this design.

I agree. Simple and effective.Originally Posted by quiltingeileen
One easy technique I use when nothing else seems to 'click', is to sew wavy vertical lines down the length of the quilt, about 1.5" apart. In the case of your quilt, I'd use black thread.

I did one a lot like that, and it was a quilt as you go pattern....
I would use invisible thread and stipple all over. It will be quilted nicely and still show the pattern.
