Thanks katier...interesting. I have used similar colors and the same waves as you did only I made some go up a few squares and then drop down... I used white for the wave "caps". I used 1,1/2 and 2,1/2 strips...so the "squares" are 1 and 2 "...what concerns me is the MANY seams so close together and keeping the quilt soft and cuddley. WHen you said did the "quilted following the curves of the waves"...what do you mean by that...since the "curves" are made with squares. Do you follow the seams? Or do you just do a long straight FMQ stitch in the middle of the squares...along the seams?? long I am VERY new at this bargello style...sorry for so many questions. I have not enjoyed making this one!
