quiltin the ditch around the blocks and squares within the blocks. The dog border is too busy to see much quilting so I would do grid to stabilize the border. The fabric makes the quilt. Just need quilt to stabilize it all.

Someone had this quilt in black and red? over the balcony of their sewing room? It was in pictures and the title was something like..."i thought I'd show a picture of my sewing room...? If you can find the post, it might give you some ideas. It was from the last couple of days? The other suggestions for quilting are great, if you can't find it.

I made a wallhanging of different sized squares showing all kinds of embroidery appliqued on black cotton, I machine sewed around the outside of each square and then along the border in the ditch.
Also did a couple tee shirt quilts with different sized squares, did that the same way, I wouldn't stitch on the printed squares, just around them.
