What machine quilting pattern to use for a OBW?
#11
I've done 5 OBWs and in the body of the quilts I've done a meander in a very fine thread as I didnt want to detract from the kaleidosopes. But I have tried to do something different in contrast thread in the borders.

I am doing a three different thread colour motif in the black borders, hope to finish it today.

There are two books so far
One Block Wonders - Maxine Rosenthal
One Block Wonders Encore - this is the one with the hollow cubes in.
There is a new book out in April with new variations on the hollow cubes, One Block Wonders Cubed, which would be a good addition for doing the cubes too.

I've been told by way more experienced quilters than me, that when you have a very busy quilt top, then you need to do a meander or a design with much less detail to it, because you won't see it anyway with all that's going on with the pieced top.
Are your borders a solid fabric or the original fabric print?
Please post pictures. Thanks
