Smile do the quilting

Ok, sugarfoot.....If I were doing it. Make a good sandwich, I would find a stand out thread for the bobbin a contrasting thread for the back and quilt the top around each house and tree. So. that when you look at the back you see the whole quilt design. I did a fan quilt like that Christmas fan, it took several years for me to collect the fabrics. But I used a red fabric for the back and a white bobbin thread. When you looked at the back you saw red fan blades outlined in white. Made an impression at a quilt show. It was my first quilt. The front was Christmas fabric on white so the white thread around the fans on front only showed the quilting. I did this by rolling the quilt on each side and starting in the middle (Reg sewing machine), worked slowly until I got use to doing it. One side then the other smoothing as I went, then the binding. If you need more help let me know. Have fun.
