Hi to all you wonderful quilters,
I have hand pieced a quilt top for a double size bed. The center are nine patches on point. There are then 3 borders -- each 6" wide. The center of these borders is made up of all piano keys -- almost 100 total in various fabrics from my stash. I have quilted the first (inner) border with a floral pattern. My question is: how do I quilt the piano keys? They are 6" in width x 3". I have not yet decided what to do for the outermost border..... All quilting is to be hand quilted. Happy holidays to everyone. Phyllis Carol |
Trebles clefs, and musical notes?? Black thread on the white fabric and white thread on the black fabric.

piano keys are busy enough without alot of quilting, I would just do outline quilting 1/4 from all seams. If I was machine quilting them I would do SID.
Would love to see a picture of the quilt:) |

I do only hand piecing and hand quilting. It makes a connection to our forebears when I think of history. Thanks for all your advice. I do not have a digital camera so sadly cannot post a photo. Phyllis Carol
