    Just finished this top and getting ready for quilting.
    It is made with all batik in dauther-in-laws favorite colors.
    I can't decide what design to quilt it with.
    Any suggestions?
    It took me over 6 months to put together. While cutting pieces I strained the tendons in my left hand holding templates down, and then while flicking a big grasshopper off of my mind plant, I tore the tendons on long finger. Ended up having surgery and healing took forever. Didn't think I would ever get full use back.
    all is good now.
    Thank you

    Lovely top! So sorry you hurt yourself! I think a water ripple pattern in a dark thread would look good. It reminds me of Monet’s Water Lilies painting.

    It's very pretty! Your daughter in law will love it. I am so glad that you are recovered from your hand strain. That must have been a Big grasshopper...
