I just finished this quilt top and asking the talented and creative beings on this board for help in deciding how to quilt this. I am open to all ideas. The pattern is called Afternoon Delight by Grizzly Gulch and went together quickly but now I am stumped.

Help!

Thank you. :?

Just a meander would be nice. A panto all over would be nice too. Nice points and I love the colors together.

When I make a top that's all geometric shapes like yours is, I generally quilt it with curves/loops. It helps to soften it...I can't think of the word. :oops:

I love those fabrics! And you did a fabulous job putting it together...Sorry, I can't image any quilting pattern that wouldn't be pretty....

What sort of setup are you working with? Are you comfortable with FMQ? Do you want to experiment with more than STD? Domestic machine, mid-arm, or longarm?

So many answers, none of them wrong. Think about how you envision the end, and how you can get there.


I don't always reach the (envisioned) end game, but I learn so much on the way ;-)

Yeah, I know. Not helpful, but it's true.

A nice meander would be great. I love the quilt.

Thank you all... I like the idea of all over meandering or loops. I read somewhere that this "softens the line" of the quilt. I will post the finished productfor you to see how your suggestions panned out. Thanks again !!!

I have a long arm (HQ 16) which is good because this is a queen sized quilt and would be too bulky on my dsm
