If you can follow a pantograph, you can follow a drawn line on your quilt when quilting. Perhaps you would be more comfortable making a template out of cardboard that you can trace onto your quilt, so you have something to follow. For example, you could make ornaments or trees and embellish them with free hand work (thinking on your border), or a ribbon you've drawn or found a picture of one you can trace to make a template from and draw onto your quilt (think inside the bow on the presents). You can find printable images online that you can resize to your needs with your printer. Ribbon candy or wishbones are great ideas for your sashings. I found the best practice in the end to get you over your fear and to help to get going, is to quilt a real quilt, with real borders, sashings etc. I look forward to seeing your quilt quilted! It’s beautiful!
