Need some ideas on the patchwork!
#1
Here is a cross stitch that I made and plan to quilt around for a wall hanging. I have some great pinks and brown fabrics for it. My problem is that I am not sure what to do as I don't want to take away from the cross stitch too much. Does anyone have any suggestions as far as what type and size blocks I should do around this? I thought maybe just borders but it will actually be an oval shape around the cross stitch and then out from there. Please let me know. Thanks so much. :)

A beautiful crosstitch project. I am not good at knowing what you should add but I will be watching to see what some of these other talented members have to say. Color-wise soft colors will work great.

well, I noticed there is pink in the picture, so what about one of the borders having pink in it?
I think it would bring the eye back to the picture. I'd just lay some fabric under it and "audition" them to see what I liked best.
It's just beautiful. I love cross stitch. Wish I had more time to do it.
