Finally got it together and final pressing this AM......now to decide how to finish quilting it..
.......it is a small, 8"square (small hanging) so it won't need too much.

I would love to be able to machine quilt but it just isn't one of my talents !!!!!!!!

How would diagonal stitching from the flower out to all edges look?

Any suggestions gladly accepted. Thanks.........mj

fatboyschef 06-10-2010 05:00 AM

By all means, quilt it by hand! It's small, so should go fast. Easy to remove the stitches if you don't like them. Keep up the good work!

dsb38327 06-10-2010 05:07 AM

That is pretty.

As a hand quilter I would echo quilt around the flower and leaves do a little accent quiting around the yellow center. You could add some veins in the leaves.

Then see if it need something to the edge, like diagonal from the echo.

Really pretty.

This is very pretty. Too pretty to practice FMQ. Copy the outline of this flower onto some muslin, make a quilt sandwich and practice your FMQ first. You will be glad you did.

brushandthimble 06-10-2010 05:17 AM

Beautiful job! Echo quilting comes to mind; with all the straight pp seams I would lean toward quilting with curves.

justme 06-10-2010 05:19 AM

Opened the post up... "oh is that pretty!!!" First reaction to it.. Great job!

Ritzquilts 06-10-2010 05:47 AM

My thoughts exactly. The echo quilting is what it needs. Beautiful block! I can only imagine how the whole quilt is going to look!!

mjsylvstr 06-10-2010 06:52 AM

Thanks for the very nice comments...they sure are appreciated.

It took awhile to get into the pp, and with each piece I do, I learn another easier step for the next one.

Try it, it is addictive..........

It truly is beautiful! My first thought was echo quilting and I have read the posts and it has been suggested many times. Nice job!

Pineapple Princess 06-10-2010 09:39 AM

That is beautiful!!! I don't know how I would quilt it...

belmer 06-10-2010 09:54 AM

Very pretty, I agree with quilting it by hand in the echo quilting meathod.

littlehud 06-10-2010 01:06 PM

Wow, that is beautiful. It is a work of art. I have no suggestions of how to quilt it.
