Help, Need Quilting Ideas Please
 
1 Attachment(s)
I am loading this giant on my frame today, but it still hasn't "told" me how it wants to be quilted. I am hoping someone can help my brain get in gear. It is a half log cabin pinwheel. Yes, the pinwheel is subtle, but it is what she wanted, and we both love it. The grey polka dot is the backing and I want the quilt to be usable from both sides.

I do know that I want the body to be quilted differently than the border. I'd really like to quilt it in a way the makes the black part of the pinwheel stand out.

I really appreciate the help. I have to get this done so I can get the binding on. :)

I do feathers over every thing... nice big curves

I thought about the feathers, but will that look ok with the polka dots on the back?

i like large and swirly, but not feathers. i've seen some wonderful large swirly pantos shown here

Thanks, i was kind of thinking some swirls with an occasional sunburst type of thing to carry in the pattern in the corner blocks. I haven't really done pantos. I freehand mostly.

I think I would like a design centered in the pinwheel design to highlight the shape. Maybe like a spiky flower that would look good from the back too. Whatever you decide it will look great.

Large swirley would look really good.

Great site dunster, thanks for the link.

Thank you. My brain is at least trying to work now. Lol

I think I've got it..... well part way. I'm going to do a fill in the light areas... maybe some straight lines. .. then make a star burst with square end full the dark. .. hmmmm. Still working it out.
