need ideas on quilting this quilt
Hi,
I am making this quilt for a friend and I need ideas for quilting it. I don't have a lot of room to lay out the quilt and take a great picture, so I am hoping that I can describe it and show a partial picture. The kids this is for is her son and daughter in law, and they love dogs, especially retreivers. I found a panel that we liked and started with that, then did sawtooth star blocks all the way around. It is a king size quilt. I outlined the dogs and then did some fmq in the circular part of the panel. I did some outline quilting around the rectangles, to look sort of like a frame. The area where help is needed is the sawtooth star blocks, and the brown sashing. The goal is for the dogs to be the focus of the quilt. I had a lady at the quilt shop suggest stitch in the ditch, but I do better at fmq. I am open to ideas. Also, the border is blue, what would you suggest quilting in the border?
