how should I quilt this miniature?
All, here is a photo of an 11in x 13in miniature. I am not happy with the quilting in the middle, where the 9 patches are. They are 1.5 in squares, finished. I am the meander queen on my DSM. I'm happy with the meander in the outmost dark brown border, happy with the SITD in the 1/4 in blue border.
I have an overall meander in the middle section. Looks just okay in photo but up close I have a lot of uneveness in the 9 patches. Look carefully at the blue/cream 9 patch on the bottom left and you will see the 'bumps'.
Am thinking of ripping it out in that middle section and re-doing with one of the following options:
1--do a small stiple in the dark brown squares and setting triangles and maybe a spiral in each 9 patch
2--do an overall small stiple over the the middle section
There are no ditches in that middle section. I had to press all the seams open to reduce bulk.
Ideas welcome!!
