This is my design thus far in EQ Just simple snowballs and 9P! This quilt would be 85 x 94 when done

They are really stunning, the lady was a painter and it shows in these blocks. These were made in the early 70's!
I hope they are cured enough, I am chicken to water test one!
I am playing with some ideas in EQ but wondered why you all thought might could be done to really show case the blocks, not distract from them.
I also want hand quilt them simply.

I was watching a woman fabric coloring on QNN the other day and she used a product called textile medium to paint over her designs that she colored in with colored pencils. She said to only paint it over the colored part. She does this to make the coloring colorfast to withstand laundry. She said otherwise they would wash out. Maybe you could do this. Good luck
