I am making this lap quilt for my dad. It's ugly ugly but it has a purpose. He will know EXACTLY why I chose the colors (even the blue..lol). It's all really a joke, but anyway. I'm new to the whole quilting thing. I'm struggling over the quilting part of it. I think I have chosen the color of thread, but not sure about how I'm going to quilt it. I have only free motion (swirls) quilted before. I have never stitched in the ditch. I don't have a walking foot either.
Oh, and the back of the quilt will be black.
I need to get this done today or tomorrow and I just can't decide which style to quilt in.
If I free motion, will swirls (the only thing I really know how to do), do I do it on the blue too, or will it look funny with that color thread?
Thanks so much for the advice!!

Welcome and waving from Arkansas! Your quilt is not ugly at all and I think the thread on the black will be fine. You might want to use it to sew on a piece of black scrap to see what it will really look like. Merry Christmas and we're happy to have you join us.
