need advice please - finishing a quilt for a friend
I am finishing a quilt for a friend who's mother started this about 15 years ago...the mother passed away in 2007 and he asked me to finish this for him. The top you see in the picture was already completed. I making the "sandwich". I have sewn around the outside of each block to stabilize the top to the backing.
My question is...would you leave the plain white blocks as they are or possibly add something to them, however I am concerned if I do that it will take away from the tractors she has embroidered in every other block.
It's hard to see in the photo, but there is an 8" white border around the outside, I was thinking of adding a stencil type decoration on the border in red or green thread to match the tractors.
I would appreciate your opinions please. I am using a standard Janome machine with a 7" throat, so I don't have a lot of room to work with. This is laid on our queen size bed for photo purposes.
Thanks in advance.
