Need quilting ideas for Prairie Flowers Quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
I just finished sandwiching this quilt and ready to get started with the quilting. However, I'm wondering if any of you whoehave quilted this quilt or one in a similar style, could give me suggestions on what design(s) to quilt, as well as pit-falls to lookout for.

I've googled for a pic of this quilt hoping to find one that someone has quilted, but haven't found any. Maybe someone here has quilted this one???

It's so beautiful it will be stunning no matter what you do. Amazing quilt.

you didn't say if you are going to quilt it by hand or machine.

Crosshatching would be very nice done eight way, just a thought.

Could you explain "eight way crosshatching", please? Googled it but no help there. :D

If you are going to FMQ it, you might consider Nemeshing it -- http://www.whitearborquilting.com/store/index.html I am not sure if the link is allowed, but it would make a beautiful background around your gorgeous appliques!

this reminds me of some Hawaiian applique quilts. You could Google some and maybe get a few ideas from those.

Crosshatch the background. That is what you will see in my applique quilts. Then stitch close to the applique to outline the leaves and the flowers.
