I made this quilt for my nephew who retired from the police force, it was an easy and fast ouilt to make but now the hard part is the quilting. I have no idea how to quilt it. Would you just do stitch in the ditch, I really don't like how that looks. But I really can't figure out what else to quilt. Any ideas would be such a great help. Thanks
P.S. Nice quilt! |
I like the idea of an overall design. Check this blog.
She has a quilt with stars and stripes and the wavy lines really make the quilt pop. https://www.cupcakesndaisies.com/ |
I really don't have any ideas for quilting design. Just wanted to tell you what a beautiful and meaningful quilt you made. My son is a cop but not yet retired so this gives me an idea for him if you don't mind me copying your idea. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful quilt.

I have attached a very rough sketch. Your lines would be smoother and in white and maybe closer together. You could do this with a walking foot. or free motion. Just be sure to mark your straight lines well so you stay straight . Watson |
My first thought was stars. But others have also offered some good ideas for you to choose from.
