Here it is! Finally got the urge to piece the quilt, I have had the shoe panels for a couple months now. I LOVE IT! :) This will be a Christmas gift for my sis.. I would love to quilt it myself (ON MY NEW JUKI!!!!) But I am a little nervous and not too sure what to do with those big, open, white spaces. Ideas?

very stylish and cute

Ohhh I love it....she will also

When I made a quilt with that style I did a simple cross hatch,,did not take away from the design.

So, did you just cross hatch, keeping the shoe portion of the block free from stitches?

Very cute

I think pebbling would look nice. It would allow you to get close to the shoe but not quilt over it.

i think this would look great... and can pebble into the space between the heel and the sole

Beautiful work! I love it!

I would.

Cute! You could also do echo quilting around the shoes.

Thanks for the suggestions ladies. :)

Oh wow, it is so cool for me to see someone else's version of my painted shoe quilt, Head over Heels!! I quilted my own and if I, when I, do another I will outline with straight stitching, each shoe, adding a little bit inside of each shoe to keep it from "puffing up". Then I would do really small stippling around each shoe, only in the light area. The rest of it, you might as well just do some larger meandering/stippling, because you hardly see it on the dark fabric.

I like that! I think I can easily do that. :-) I can't wait to give it to my sis! :-)

Do you have the label????

Yep!! :-) thank you so much!! :-)
