That sounds really cute!!!

Curves look great on a quilt with alot of straight lines. What about a meander with hearts or dragonflies built in? What about bubbles or maybe the grandmothers fan (that may not be the name of it but it is what I call it, LOL... looks like rainbows going in all different directions)...

I have two that I need to quilt. I've been thinking crossing curves in every other line. Maybe a straight line at a distance from the seam in the alternating strips.

I am quilting one using the Baptist Fan motif. Some might call it shells as my aunts and grandmother did or Bishops Fan.

I did the different machine stitch down each seam and looked great.

I'm trying to finish my first one (between my knee & my puppy dog, it's taking eons to do!) & was just thinking about how I'd have it quilted. It's done in "jungle" batiks so I was thinking maybe vines or vines with leaves. I think with as straight as the pattern is, the curves of a vine might be a nice change. I think we should have a photo gallery for Jelly Roll races, don't you?
