Open to suggestions for Quilting a Log Cabin
Hi,
I have a log cabin quilt top that needs to be finished. I am not sure what would be better, an all over pantograph or in the ditch, or????? I am way open to suggestions, any and all welcome. PLEASE.

I personally would do a nice pantograph if you have a design on the material, such as if there are cherries, do cherries all over. However, if not, I would do stippling all over. Stitch in the ditch will take a while but would look nice if you don't want to detract from the fabric. Hope that helps some...

I saw a log cabin that was quilted in circles. All different size circles all over the quilt. It was stunning. The quilted circles gave it a new design look. I think Baptist Fans or Clamshell pattern would be great too.

I made a log cabin quilt for one of my grandsons several years ago and I did a meander with oak leaves every few inches. The quilt was made with Civil War fabric and the oak leaves just seemed to fit.

I just recently quilted stars with some in the ditch in the larger areas in a log cabin. I like the idea of a a swirly pattern to offset the hard lines of the log cabin though. Mine is a graduation gift for a young man so I went with the stars. For me, often it depends on the recipient as to what the quilting design will be.
