love the ideas, but i failed to mention that i'm clueless on terms or technique. seriously just bought a sewing machine last year, and all i've made with it are christmas bags...and last time i did any embroidery was cross-stiching when i was 8 with my gramma
that being said, i can learn! so the white width is 10" ....i want to minimize the non-quilted portion just to avoid excessive wear and tear. what kind of cable design would you suggest? remember, i'm clueless and can't easily envision quilt patterns. i think it needs to be in purple since i want her to have two quilts (one for now and one when she is in high school so she can flip it over). that being said, i want to minimize the "age appropriate" motifs since this could be the first and last quilt i ever made, but also need simplicity in a pattern. since i want this to be reversible, i think the colored panels all have to be treated the same. so, maybe purple thread on the cable-ish design on the white panel, and white thread on the colored panels?
