Hi Everyone
I have just finished my second quilt which is for a friend in the UK. I wanted an African feel so have used fabric based on the shweshwe design. I was going to have it long arm quilted with a floral design in purple thread so that it would stand out against the white and help tone down it's 'starkness'. Now that it's finished though, I feel that maybe flowers would not fit in with the geometric design. Should I do straight line quilting on each side of the stitching lines instead? I.e. squares and then a diagonal following the direction of the purple and white HST's. The finished HST/block size is 8.5". Would this kind of quilting be adequate? Opinions/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!
