Fisherman top finished! ...update to "Help...Dumb ?.Bias edge hst ?"
 

A month ago, I asked for help on a pattern that has lots of biased edges. I took all of your advice (thank you!!!), and here is my finished quilt top! Now I need to find fabric for the back. Any suggestions on how to quilt it?

What an awesome quilt. I love your design and the colors of your fabric.

Very nice!

Oh, what a great quilt!!! You really did a good job!! Some fisherman is going to be very pleased...

Love that pattern with that panel. Nice job!

I love that! I love the design and the fabrics...my husband would love it too :)

Thank you! I bought the fabric/pattern from my LQS. All the fabrics are from same line. The middle isn't a panel but this would be a great pattern for a panel! Wish I could have lined up the plaid (rope) fabric, but that was just out of my league!

That is beautiful! I don't fish and I would love to have it. I have no suggestions for how to quilt it. though.

I know that i didn't see the 'un-match' of the net. Had to go back and really look for it. I really do love this quilt.

Will you be quilting by machine or by hand. How much quilting do you believe it needs or you want to do

I'll be sending it out! Lol! I'm not ready for that challenge...YET! With this quilt I learned how to square up a block, almost have my 1/4 inch seam down, work with fabric on the bias, and fussy cut fabric the best I could. And it finished perfectly square! First time ever! :) My long arm quilter will ask what I want tho.

Wow! That is a great quilt!!!!! Love it! Dont know what wasn't lined up but it looks terrific to me! Someones gonna be very lucky n happy! Great job! No suggestion for quilting i send mine out! Boats? Fish? Lol

Looks great

First congrats on a perfectly square quilt! Second that quilt is great. Love all the fishy fabric. I know a couple men that would love that. I'd think of an overall quilting design for the quilt, since the fabrics are pretty busy. It would be awesome if there was an overall fish design or even waves.

I love this setting. Did you have a pattern?

oooooo nice for backing any thing would be Nice but that about the blue speckled one that is the final border around the center panel? I love the quilt. It looks great.

Beautiful quilt. I really like the way you've highlighted the panel with the diamond. Sorry - no advice on quilting motifs.

Cheers, K

Beautiful quilt! I think waves like you would see across a lake and like waves that have a criss cross effect. Where the interloock like ~~~~~ almost like a wavy figure 8.

How about an all over fish or/and trees pattern for quilting?

I think you did a great job. I just love it.

I would stitch in the ditch with a walking foot all the straight seams 1st. Then again along the bias. I would stipple around the water in the center square. OR all over design of fish.

Wow! Do I ever love this quilt.

Very pretty quilt and nicely done. For the quilting , If you can , hire a longarm quilter that has a fish theme-all over design. An all-over design won't distract from the nice prints you have going.

Very cool quilt!

Beautiful quilt. Right up my brother's alley. :-)

Love it! I've been looking for a pattern to do a similar fish themed quilt. Could you share the name of the pattern?

For quilting, I would do a loose ramble in the bias borders, a quarter inch outline stitch just inside both edges of the straight borders and love the idea of a fish or water look pattern for the center section.

Wow, what a cool quilt! It makes one feel so calm and I can just imagine sitting on the bank of a shaded stream with a line in the water and more likely a good book on my knee. Lovely color choices.

This is a great manly quilt, very nice!!

what a great setting and the fabric is so beautifully coordinated. Great job.

I bought this as a kit from my LQS and it included the pattern. The fabric is really nice quality. The line is called A Lazy Afternoon by Anita Phillips. Thank you so much for the compliments. I made this for my son in law who loves to fish and I'm hoping he likes it also!

It's an awesome quilt, you did a fantastic job. Unfortunately, other than quilting fish or quilting around the trees and bushes, I have nothing to suggest.

I am totally impressed. You are a superb quilter. Good luck on the quilting decision.
