Hello all,
I have a question about a quilt that I am currently working on. I want to quilt about 1/4 inch outside of all of the tumbler seams. I haven't decided how to quilt the polka dot border yet. Maybe hearts. Anyway, see the white row of tumblers on the top? I am going to applique the name there and I am also going to applique a few elephants on the tumblers. Do I quilt the entire top and then add the applique? Because I don't want the quilting over my letters or elephants. I have that lite and bond stuff. Do you think I can manage a hand blanket stitch around the letters without it coming through to the back? or should I not worry about that and? Also, do you think it is too much pink and white polka dot if I do the letters using the pink? I'm definitely doing the elephants in the pink polka dot. Thanks for your input. I need to have this to someone by Wednesday so I will be quilting tonight.
