    This one I love. So so pretty. Great ideas the ribbons and the buttons would be great in the centre.

    Panda that is very pretty and unique! How about some french knots in the centers? You could even do them with thin ribbon. I think it would make it look like flower centers and stabilize them. Double win! :wink:

    What a beautiful quilt!!! My first thought was buttons, but I love the idea of french knots with narrow ribbon.

    Good Luck.........Cheryl
    :D :D :D :D :D :D
    I would agree with tying. I really love your quilt. Such pretty pinks and a great pattern. Pat yourself on the back.

    I completely agree, you have certainly outdone yourself!! What a beautiful quilt!! I dont' know if a French knot and a quilter's knot are the same or not. But a knot with ribbon or tied with ribbon would be so beautiful!
