My oldest friend (in terms of how long I have known her) is having her first grandson next month. Here is the finished quilt top. I was going to add another border (red) but after I put the blue one on, the quilt said it was finished :lol:
Any suggestions on how to quilt it? I'm thinking of hand quilting as I can do a better job at that as opposed to machine quilting..... Close up of fabric [ATTACH=CONFIG]13700[/ATTACH] |
How big are the red stars approx? I think I'd start with quilting a ¼" echo around them and then see what else it needs. I really like the way the blue star forms in the background. I agree the blue border is nice & maybe bind it with the red?

Sometimes I tend to "over think" things.... :roll: |
Pretty!

Oh I love that quilt!!!
It is so eye-catching as soon as you see it!! Great work! Kendra |
Oh my that is just so pretty
|
Maybe some baby foot prints in the large squares.
I love it! |
Oh, it's so cute! Your hand quilting will be such a special touch. Don't forget to show us. You know how hand quilting makes me drool!
|
I love it!!
Great for a baby boy! |
Sewjoyce...what a pretty little quilt for a new GB. Love the star around the star. I also think echo is the way to go.
|
That would be cute, a little 'FOOT' in the 4" middle square maybe????
|
Cute quilt
|
Now I just need to find a "foot" that will fit in a 4" square :lol: :lol: I just love the foot idea :D
|
Very nice. I like it.
|

Maybe just good old tying off in the corners of the blocks. I just love how a quilt talks to you and it all comes together.
|
What a darling little baby quilt!! :D
It looks just perfect to me. I don't know how to quilt it, but I am sure whatever you do, it will be very nice!! :D :D :D :D :D |
I really like the double star, I don't think I've seen that before. Sorry can't help with the quilting part.
|
Very nice.
|
I love it. You did a fantastic job! :D

very good i also would stitch a 1/4 in a way enjoy hand quilting this like to see the result after done
|
I love the footprint quilting idea, and I think a red binding would finish this off perfectly! Well done!
|
Good thinking to leave it at the one border. I did one similar to that and put a small first border in red, a second in blue, and should have stopped there because I put a third in the lighter color I used and hated it. I ended up putting a small blue binding after that and said "good enough".
Yours is very cute. |
Great quilt! It looks great with just the one border. You do nice work, he's going to love it.

The blue making a big friendship star is a great design feature. Cleverly done!
