    Default First quilt top made this year

    Okay, a Tennessee Waltz... but a bit jazzier than a traditional TW... waiting to get better at machine quilting as its a gift for the inlaws... want to do something fancier than echoes but let's not get carried away... suggestions?[ATTACH=CONFIG]551523[/ATTACH]

    Gorgeous quilt! Have you looked for a quilting stencil that will fit inside the background??

    Great TW top! I think a nice feathered wreath would look nice in the cream squares. If you can't FMQ them freehand, perhaps you could get the Golden Threads paper and stitch through it?
