quilting suggestions needed
 

I'm hoping you might give suggestions on how to quilt this. It's a XMas present for my daughter and want it to be lovely, of course. It just seem an overall scribble is wrong for this lap quilt.

The blocks are raw-edge applique on white blocks. Border is white with small blocks.

In the overall picture, somehow it loaded upside down. LOL don't know how that happened.

Crossing my fingers that you have some great ideas.

Gorgeous quilt. Depends on how limited stitching you can do depends on the type of batting you are using.

I would probably start with SID the seams around the roses (or the serpentine stitch could be used over the seam lines). Going all the way across the quilt top for each seam (think north to south), then turning the quilt and Sid the east to west direction. Making a square around each rose. This would stabilize the sandwich. Then I would come back and outline the roses and stitch a spiral within them as Tartan suggested. As to the pieced border a continuous "x" stitched from corner to corner of each square would be nice. To finish it up how about a piano key border from the pieced border out to the quilt edge? Just some ideas - I'm sure whatever you decide will be perfect as this it such a beautiful top.

I wouldn't stitch too much around the raw edges of the roses, because you want them to fray and soften up, right? Maybe a simple meander around the outsides. I don't think a "simple scribble" would steer you wrong; you don't have a lot of open space to quilt and you want the main focus to be on the roses.

I agree with Maniac, depends on your batting. Lovely quilt.

What a beautiful, unique quilt.

Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Beautuful quilt! Please share the pattern name
Thank you

oh what a neat pattern. Stitch in the ditch around flowers, meandering in the back ground, the quilt holds its own, don't need much.

Yes, could you please share the pattern name & designer.

Beautiful and anxious to see when finished.
