Hi all, I'm making this quilt for a friend of mine. Now that I've finished the top I'm pretty sure I should wait another 10 or 15 years before attempting triangles again. This was really challenging and I obviously haven't perfected my seams enough for triangles and/or so many small pieces, because I had a lot of issues with pieces being too small or too big because I hadn't got the quarter inch seam exactly right. So anyway I think it came out OK considering ...

Now I'm looking for some ideas on how to quilt the thing, so I've posted a picture. I still have tension issues when FMQing so I don't really want to do that with this quilt since it is a gift. I also really dislike burying a lot of threads so I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas how to quilt this with a walking foot, preferably using only a few lines? Maybe that's an unrealistic plan?

Anyway would love any suggestions or ideas. Thanks!

it looks great so far. how far apart does your batting say the quilting needs to be? if not too close, then just X's in the blocks?

I would use my walking foot to quilt all the straight lines. I would then quilt straight lines inside the blocks like the tick tack toe pattern.

I agree with Tartan.Corner to corner.

I agree with our friends that corner to corner would be easiest.......

I was reading on this blog the other day about doing this stretched zig zag with a walking foot. I want to try it.
