What kind of a stencil or quilting pattern should I use?
#1
I am almost finished with my Disappearing Nine patch. This is my first pieced quilt..it is a busy pattern.
So I am unsure of what kind of stitching pattern to use ...I am going to be hand quilting. Should it be an over all pattern, or since there are so many circles in the fabric design, should I just draw different size circles, I can use plates for the circles.
I could buy some stencils, if necessary.
I have it almost sewn together...just a few strips to finish.
I have attached a photo. Thanks for your help and suggestions. Hugs, Dee

The circles would make a nice finishing touch, i have been working on a "Ice Crystals" pattern doing it by hand stiching each Diamond, triangle, and square. Been on it for way to long. i"ll not do that again..
