Option 2 in the ditch. It's so pretty, I wouldn't want to take away from the design.

I think I would use QITD in black so as not to detract from the lovely colors.

Here's my options at this moment:

1. Put it on the Little Gracie Frame and FMQ an all over meander with black thread.

2. Pin it (or spray baste) and do straight line quilting (with black thread)in the black 1/4 inch from both sides of the seams and then 1/4 inch from the seams in the colored rectangles with matching thread. (I have a walking foot to use on this)

3. Go to my air conditioned bedroom and procrastinate some more......


I'm looking for something easy as I still have 9 days of school left and am limited on my evening time as the lawn and garden are calling me, too.
This is a gorgeous stained glass pattern -- whatever you decide, I hope it doesn't take the eye away from that (i.e., I would stitch in the ditch, myself).

I was thinking this same thing.

How about meandering it with a multicolored thread? OOOOOPs didn't see the precvious comment. I agree with DebbieKT, it would be a show stopper.

Option 2 as the black thread in the different colors would take away from the beauty.
