Very pretty quilt. I would do something that would leave it puffy and comfy. Maybe a SID all around.
|
I would do a large all over meander,except in the circles.In the circles I would just start at the outsid of the circle and swirl into the center.Like a snail.Being a baby quilt,it needs a lot of quilting,so the baby can drag it around where ever they want.It will be washed millions of times and with a lot of quilting it will hold up well.
|
I am not sure stich in ditch would do it justice. But then, I don't have a better suggestion either
|
WOW - Just lovely, great job, thank you for sharing, very very cute grandma
Have a Blessed day Ellen |
How adorable. Great job.
|
What a pretty quilt!! I agree with just doing stitch in the ditch. Show us a picture when you have finished the quilting, please.
|
Very, very nice! Your granddaughter and daughter will both love it! :)
|
Love it! I'd quilt a heart or a heart with an echo line around it on every circle and square, then meander lightly all over the rest of the quilt.
|
I agree with Tartan - wiggle stitch top to bottom to mimic the ric rack. I love the use of the ric rack and I love the circles. Very ingenious.
|
Actually, I think I would quilt squares in the circles and circles in the squares.

My DD is having her second baby and we know it's a girl. DD requested that I make a baby quilt in hot pink and zebra print. After searching my stash and purchasing the baby zebra print on line, this is what I came up with. I think it turned out really cute. The binding will be the zebra print. My question is how do I quilt it? I am open to ideas so please tell me yours.
I have also made a matching crib sheet in the baby zebra print. |
What an absolutely adorable quilt! I'd echo the shapes.
|
Beautiful. I would keep the quilting simple.
|
LOVE the quilt, and I agree with this idea:

I would stitch wavy lines on the rick rack block about an inch apart. I would stitch straight horizontal lines about an inch apart on the other rectangles. The circles and square are still the focal points, but it gives interest to the solid background.

very cute quilt and nice choice of colors!
|
I love the layout and fabrics you chose, it's simply adorable.
Thougts for the quilting... I would quilt it a mediium density (a happy medium between soft and durable), I would then search high and low for a gray/pink/white varigated thread and minky backing, then quilt it in an all-over design with large concentric rectangles and cirlcles overlapping each other. If I couldn't find the varigated thread, I would consider using solid threads of all three colors. Please do share with us what you end up doing. |
The quilt is SEW cute. I like the idea of circles all over. Let us see the after pictures please. Thanks for sharing.
|
I read the pink and zebra before I acutally saw the quilt and was excited. Seeing the quilt cofirms my excitment! What a happy and cute quilt. If I were going to quilt this cutie, I would do circles in circles in circles all over in a random pattern, even inter- crossing some of them so they look like bubbles.
Love what you have done. peace |

Pretty! I'm not a big fan of a lot of quilting. I would stitch in a ditch around everything and smaller and smaller circles inside the circles.
|
Love the quilt. Start with stitch in the ditch first and see what it does for the quilt. I personally am not for heavy quilting. I feel it takes away from the design. One step at a time.
|
I won't be any help but just wanted to say that is one super cute quilt.
|
Very pretty quilt and you have recieved some great suggestions on how to quilt it. I would be thinking of some kind of geometric design because of all the different shapes.. Just MHO.. however you go, it will be great
|
That is a super quilt!
|
I think Tartan has terrific ideas on how to quilt. Me, I'm no help - only an admirer. Your quilt is lovely.
|
On baby quilts, less is more - so the quilt is flexible ans soft.
|
I would do an open heart design. Check out Nichole Webb's Youtube videos...she has an open ended heart design that would look so cute on that as an overall design and if you feel that is too challenging, how about loop de loops and hearts freehanded? I would pick up on those little hearts in the fabric and also a nice way to send "love" to new baby.

Adorable quilt - Love the textures of the rick-rack & prints!
|
I have no idea that I can share with you about quilting it, but I just have to say how pretty it is & your daughter is going to love it so much. What a great pattern & the color's are terrific. Congratulation's on the new arrival.
:D :D :D :D |
I the circles & squares a little character would be fun and then vines with leaves or twirls or swirls...things that rhyme with girls...LOL I am just throwing things out there. Have fun. The baby will love it.

If it was mine I would probably consider just a stitch in ditch on all the straight lines and around the circles to make them pop. Can't wait to see what you end up doing |
Its beautiful, such great colors and design, I like the others suggest quilting it lightly. Its beautiful.
|
Thanks so much for all your sugestions. It may be a while before I get the quilting done. We have a family medical emergency (not baby related) and that comes first.
|
Maybe spirals inside the circles and similar idea inside the blocks, but in square pattern? Very cute!
|
I would do some "echoing" around the circles!
It looks cool!! :) |
Not my style at all, but very very good. I would be inclined to do SiTD then FMQ hearts and zigzags.
|
That is a terrific baby girl quilt no matter which way you select. To quilt it!
