advice please
 

this is a panel that I am going to do for table topper/runner...... I do not now how I should quilt this as cross hatch and stitch in the ditch are the only things that I am able to do.I would so appreciate some advice....... with thanks.....Patty

Simple straight line quilting with the lines 1" apart always looks nice. Also, slightly wavy lines would look good, like a gentle breeze blowing through the flowers.

I like Jeanne's idea.

Thank you so much for the help....i love the idea...

I think cross hatch on tbe diagonal would be a nice look too.:)

the serpentine stitch on most machines on the diagonal sounds beautiful on this panel. please show us when you're done.

Thank you so much for the help..i am doing 4 of these for christmas gifts...i am thinking of trying each way...that should help me learn.......

I did a wavy cross-hatch on placemats years back. I had only made 1 quilted table runner, SITD from a kit prior to that in my quilting "career", but they turned out lovely. I was able to do the gentle waves without a darning foot (didn't realize I needed one ... or how amazingly fun & easy free-motion quilting actually is). I was really happy with how they turned out. Wish I still had them because I really can't draw (I bought a borders template at JAF & used it to mark my quilt), but here's a really rough idea...

You could also just quilt the diagonal lines going one direction & that would look nice, too.

Good idea.

I would crosshatch in diagonally. Try to get a thread that works well with all the colors in the panel.
