help with quilting
 

I have just completed this quilt for my nephew who is a freshman in high school. I used the school colors. The quilt is very graphic and I am at a loss as how to quilt it. Suggestions please.

Excuse the wavy lines but how about something like this. Not in the ditch, but beside the ditch.

lines. look up modern quilting design images. many straight lines look great. or can do straight ones across every other row and vertical in others.

I like osewme's idea, especially if you can do it Fmq

I like your quilt a lt! Would you mind sharing the name of the pattern with us please, please, please. :)

I agree with Tartan. Jackie Geuring has Craftsy classes with simple and very striking walking foot quilting techniques that looks fabulous on modern quilts. If it is not yet sandwiched, consider a high loft batting. The nonquilted areas within or around the SITD would puff a bit higher and create more dimension than a low loft batting would.

this was what I was thinking also and using a darker thread so they're slightly visible.

Oh, I sure like this pattern! I never used to like the modern look, but more and more I see interesting patterns that catch my eye. I am no help with a quilting pattern tho. I always have trouble deciding how to quilt something. Let us see it when you are finished. Am sure it will be beautiful!

Yes! I think you've got it!

Thanks for the suggestions, found a pattern at Sweet Dreams that I am going to try. Need to decide on what to do with the white/red/black strip.

nativetexan: thanks, I really like the line quilting on the Modern quilt site, may try something like it on half of the squares.

Jackie Geuring does remarkable work.

I don't know how to quilt it, but I really like it!

Whatever the pattern is, it would adapt to a huge variety of colors. Nicely done.

What ever you do it will look great, it is such a striking quilt. You might use wavy lines to break up so much straight lines, just a thought.

You don't want it to look ''girly'', so fancy lines would not do. How about concentric triangles? ( done in a triangular spiral) red on red , white thread on white.

Personally, i'd take a ruler and draw straight lines, going with the design. the question remains, do you want the quilting to POP, or the design?

Beautiful quilt! have no idea how I would quilt it though!
