Hand Quilting - where do you get your ideas?
I am hand quilting a kaleidoscope quilt. Below is the pattern. I've quilted the "light" curved areas simply by stitching 1/4" from the seam. I need to select a quilting pattern for:
a) the "star" part of the kaleidoscope
b) the three borders -- 1", 2.5" and 3.5"
I just feel rather stuck about what to do and wonder where people turn to for ideas on hand-quilting patterns to put in such places. I have a few books, and I've perused google images but not seeming to find inspiration.
What's your favorite source for finding hand quilting patterns to use? (I suppose it doesn't have to be *hand* quilting patterns, does it?)
Thanks!
