Need Quilting help Suggestions Please
This is a quilt that was hand pieced and appliqued by a friends deceased grandma. The quilt is not square by any means and a lot of the seams don't match. It was one of the last things she did before she passed away this year.
I have it loaded on my Tin Lizzie and will be floating the top so I can adjust the top as needed. The batting is polyester, not my choice, but it will be used more as a comforter and will look really cute.
I am going to do a loopy meander and outlining in the white of the blocks around the butterflies (appliqued). I am just not sure what to do on the borders. The top and bottom borders are wider than the side borders. And I don't want to quilt too densely so it stays fluffy, but enough that the handstitching will be sturdy.
I appreciate the help, I am just stumped on these borders. I thought about a loose spacy feather, but not sure how to do the corners.
