Oh- I never thought of that, but I think I could do that. You mentioned 'mark on them or cut to make a registration". Can you show me what you mean about that. Just want to be sure I do that right. Wondering if there is a YouTube video on this. Will go look for one now. Thanks for the idea!!!!

Favorite is the plastic lids as i can mark on them or cut to make a registration or other mark to line it up.
Lovely quilt you have made. |
What size are you blocks? The packaging for your batting should have listed how far apart you quilting shoud be. That said I would just do SID on the 2 color blocks and a "x" in the other blocks. The solid blocks have a nice pattern in them that it would be a shame to lose it with fancy quilting.

Beautiful quilt.
May I suggest a stitch in the ditch just to anchor the blocks first then do some of the suggestions on quilting designs that the others have shown. This was a suggestion I heard about over at Craftsy. I believe it was Ann Peterson. |
Love the quilt. What pattern did you use?

Julie: your quilt is beautiful. I'd love to see another picture after your quilting is done!

Here is the finished quilt. I SITD around the blocks and FMQd "Happy Birthday Susan" on the upper boarder with leaves along the sides and at the bottom. Each of the lime green squares had a leaf in it also. One lesson learned: Start the SITD in the middle and work my way out and create a 4 square grid to avoid bunching. She liked the quilt I think. I haven't heard from her since I gave it to her on 6/15. - Stitch124
