quilting for warm wishes frame block?
Hi Quilters,
I just finished basting a warm wishes baby quilt and the framed pattern that should emerge is just barely there. The picture shows the gray and white blocks creating a clear "frame" around the focus fabric, but the real life quilt doesn't have quite the same pop. Any suggestions for creating a little bit more pop with the quilting? I will be hand quilting it - moderate density. It is for a little boy - hobbs 80/20 batting/ and mostly flannel back. Thanks in advance -

I just quilted a double size one with an all over daisy and loop pattern. It was done on the machine though.

Hi Guys - Thanks for such quick responses - apparently we quilters have little need for sleep. I will be starting the quilting a little later in the day and your opinions and ideas are truly helpful. I am trying a new concept - planning ahead.

What a cute quilt! I would just quilt something simple and let that focus fabric be the pop. It sure is cute. (....and, not all quilts need to pop.) I always just SITD when make a Warm Wishes pattern.
