mgshaw,

Thank you for the pics! That is kind of what I was thinking of, but wasn't sure. Didn't know if there was a name for it, kind of a spiral or something. I will be machine quilting. I tried hand quilting, and I am terrible at it, and very, very slow. If that is all I could do, I wouldn't quilt. I admire the heck out of the workmanship, though. It is by far the prettiest, in my opinion.

Thanks again,
Robbi

If you decide to channel quilt, I suggest you go diagonal to the pattern. My second quilt was a log cabin pattern and the top turned out beautiful. Then I channel quilted it rght down the center of each log cabin strip. Big mistake! It really took away from the pattern. Just wanted to share my mistake so you don't make the same one.

Great baby quilt. I like that it's not a "typical" baby quilt and it will work for boy or girl. Another quilting option is to quilt down the center of each log. Although, since it is a baby quilt machine quilting is best. There is a lot of washing that happens with baby quilts and the time spent machine quilting is better. Keep up the good work.

I believe your layout is called 'furrows'. Nicely done.

I laid mine out in 'All Sevens'. I then quilted a rectangle around each row side to side and filled the rectangles in with smaller rectangles each smaller one following the width of the log cabin strips. I then turned the quilt 90 degrees and did the same thing to the columns.

Quilted three squares around the quilt in the border, called it done.
