Need quilting suggestions
This quilt didn't get finished before Christmas, but it kept its place in line and the beast is now on the frame, square, wrinkle-free (mostly) and ready to quilt. The blocks are 11.5" tall by 6" wide, and the sashing is 2". Borders are 8", but I plan to lose some when I trim it after quilting.
I am pretty good at following pantographs, but I have only done one true free motion project. It was the meandering flowers taught by Angela Walters on YouTube. This quilt is for my 6 year old to use as a bedspread for the Christmas season.
I love the mid-century mod vibe in the fabrics, and plan to do an asterisk-type star in the cornerstones, and maybe ribbon candy in some of the bows and ribbons, and maybe outline all the presents, but that's really all I have. I have picked fuchsia thread, and the back is the pink and green squiggles, and the binding will be the pink and green peppermint stripes.
Many times I have tried to convince myself to dive into free motion, but I chicken out because I don't want to mess up a quilt. If this one isn't perfect, Emmaline won't mind. So if you have any suggestions for a complete amateur I am all ears. Thanks!
