Need Suggestions for Quilting Attic Windows Wall Hanging
I'm a fairly new quilter and am ready to start quilting this wall hanging. I can't decide how to quilt it. I have only done meandering, SID, and some straight stitch quilting. I'm not very good at SID, but I'm thinking of using it around the sashing, then meandering the rest. Or, I might just meander the whole thing, which would be easiest! But, I love the way it turned out and don't want to ruin it by quilting it wrong. I could also FMQ the border and window panes and leave the background picture unquilted. I need help deciding! I'd appreciate any and all opinions! Thanks!

check out Leah Day's website--she has a wood grain that is pretty easy to do after a little practice on the DSM--it would look so cool on the window frames and then meander on the border (or straight lines or lines with a little wiggle--more just a fluid curve). As far as the window pictures, what about a tighter meander just in the area that looks like sunlight/fog and leave the tree trunks/limbs and green parts mostly unquilted--that way it would pop. Great job on the quilt. Be sure to post picture once it's quilted.

Thank you! I bought the tree panel fabric at a quilt shop and followed the YouTube tutorial on Attic Windows from Jenny at Missouri Quilt for the pattern. She didn't go as far as quilting it, though!
