my sister's colorful quilt top-Any quilting suggestions?
 
1 Attachment(s)
My sister 2 states away just finished this today. Next time she comes for a visit, she will want me to longarm it for her. I need suggestions for thread color and for quilting. I am finally accomplishing tolerable feathers and I just finished a class on feather alternatives. I can comfortably do loopy swirly feathery things as well as some flowers. For thread color, I have bright yellow, red, and blue threads, think primary colors. I also have turquoise, plum, sage green, off white, navy, brown, tan, and some pastels. I kind of want to go with one of the primary colors. Any suggestions?

She calls it her Happy quilt because she loves the bright colors and felt happy while working on it. Yellow thread for sunshine and happiness?

What if you went down each color with wavy lines with matching thread?

Wow, that's a beautiful top! I think I might follow the pattern to do a diamond crosshatch.

If the back is black, I would do a yellow or a primary varigated.

Variegated thread for sure! I would also call it a happy quilt. Love the colors!
