This is the quilt top that I'm making for my DIL. It's from F&P Easy Quilts, spring 2008. It has been a real pain to make. sewing the circles even with the Curve Master foot was not fun. I have done a lot of unsewing on this quilt top. I really like it though. A couple of things I need input on-the name and what type of quilting should I do on it? In my mind, I'm thinking "Galloping Circles" b/c not all my seams matched up and i would prefer if people were galloping by on a horse to view it! ha ha! :D as for the quilting, I was thinking of doing some type of grid, but would appreciate any suggestions-just keep it fairly simple as i need to get this finished real soon. Thanks in advance.

How about Blue Moon for a name.

It's obvious that the quilt is made up of square blocks - you don't need to reinforce that with the quilting. Any pattern - whether it's circular or all over FMQ - anything would be better than a grid. You didn't mention your FMQ comfort level. You could SiTD around the circles - but not in the seam (if you're concerned about the accuracy), but echo in the circles. It doesn't even have to be straight stitch - maybe you have a wavy stitch on your machine. That could add some movement and texture. It could be quilted with various fillers patterns in all the non-circle spaces, which would pop the circles out. Or quilt the circle areas with motifs - I'm a sucker for spikey flowers. There are a ton of possibilities. Sorry, not a definitive answer to your question. But skip the SiTD grid quilting. ;-) I'm really loving the turq/brown color combo. ooc, do you have the circular attachment for your sewing machine? It's pretty cool. |

This is a gorgeous quilt. Circles radiating out from the center of the "moons" would give it wave and motion (IMHO). Once in a Blue Moon is a great name as she is the "one" for your son. Thank you for sharing.

I love the circle/square combination....a little different than the run of the mill blocks....it has great personality and I like the name of "Once in a blue moon"
