Nice job as usual Henry. I think applique on the yellow panels would be great, but I end up doing applique on most of my quilts so no surprise!
Congrats & good luck with the new job.

Very nice Henry and you look very handsome without the beard! I'm trying to get my hubby to shave his mustache off. No luck on that! Have a nice visit with Granny.

I assume you've already visited with Grandma. I hope she is well and enjoyed your visit! Did she get to see (or experience) your new quilts?

She was well. Yes I have seen her and she did get to see my quilts, even this one in progress. She really liked this one! :)

So now the question is.........what kind of quilting do I do on the green border and the inside yellow panels?????????????????????????

Oh glad you had a good visit Henry. Oh wow, your quilt looks really stunning!!! Can't believe how nice the green border looks! You and me are both just getting our experience with quilting, and so this is what i would do. It is a very simple quilt, and so i think a really simple quilting design would be real nice. If it was me, i would start at the top of the quilt, but not in the borders, at the top of the yellow, and i would just sew straight lines, all the way down all the strips, stitching in the ditch, and when you hit the yellow panels, continue with your straight stitch, right through to the next strip and keep going to the bottom, then do all the strips like this. Then on the border, i would sew straight lines all the way around, like a frame, and do the lines about two inches apart, does this make sense? What do you think? I can hardly wait to see it finished, it is so pretty :)
