    Default How would you quilt this?

    I finished pinning this quilt this afternoon. I am not sure how I would like to quilt it. Any ideas from this great QB? The pattern is called Regimental Stars - Inspired by an Antique Quilt. Red Crinoline Quilts published the pattern. I am considering an all over stipple or stipple just in the star area and then use a stencil in the sashing strips and probably stipple in the setting triangles. What are your thoughts?

    When I first saw it I thought why not some kind of opposing star pattern over the stars that are already there. then maybe a feather or shell like pattern in the outer brown border.

    It was really very quick and easy. Figuring out how to quilt my quilts always takes the longest.

    I always like to stitch in the ditch. Not glamorous but it will accent the piecing.

    That's a great looking quilt!

    I'm boring-I do a lot of quilting by the piece-maybe triangles or diamonds or stars in the border
