Quilting suggestions - Mixing It Up Quilt
 

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I"m hoping you can help me with some friendly suggestions on how to fill the white space in this quilt - https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1520...home_active_15

I can't do free motion quilting but I have a sapphire 930 so can do wavy lines etc with a walking foot. Any suggestions gratefully received x

Hi, welcome to the board. That's a really cute quilt. I don't have any suggestions as I too can't FMQ

Lol! I guess I need to learn!

when i was a quilting newbie, my favorite quiltings were: stitch in the ditch, echo quilting, and lines of rays only in the white spaces but going out from an imaginary point at the center of the block, or the center of the quilt. the rays would be pretty fussy considering the amount of colored space in your blocks. it's a cute quilt.... would love to see a picture of yours. welcome to the QB

Lori, do you design your quilt patterns? They are so cute!! Love the scissors one! Welcome.

Welcome to the board from Northern California. Will be watching for replies as I don't FMQ either. Will bite the bullet someday. BrendaK

It is too bad that you are not ready to do FMS. Leah Day has some wonderful ideas on how to fill negative space. A lot of her quilting is very dense, but could be spread out to fit the project.
Earlier in this thread it was suggested you do some straight rays of stitching through the background. That would be relatively easy to mark and do and would make the mixers & spatulas stand out as long as you don't stitch onto them. Cute quilt.

Or just do wavy lines or rays. It's a really cute quilt

Thanks so much everyone there are some really good suggestions here☺ I am also checking out Leah Day's blog - looks like great info on there too so maybe I will be able to try my hand at fmq as well
