Just had to say "I love your quilt." Beautiful.

Very beautiful quilt.
|
Because the blocks are so busy, I would quilt just a little in them. The quilting would be lost in the print. Sashing, I agree with above, that a nice vine and leaf would look terrific.

How has anyone else done theirs? Thanks for any advice! Nancy
Baptist Fans, love your quilt by the way. |
Not good at quilting but love the quilt.

Hi, Thanks so much for all the great ideas for quilting. I have copied and pasted them all into a document so that I can read and study them and make a decision. Also thanks for the nice compliments! I actually had to go buy more material for some of the sashing. I did all of it vertically but realized I didn't have enough to go horizontally. I was fortunate to find some more plainer green that went very well with it. Everyone in my quilt group said that it looked like I had planned it that way! I was only 6" short and if I had not made my daughter a casserole carrier with some of it I would have had enough. I guess it was meant to be! Nancy

No advice on the quilting part, but that is one beautiful quilt. I just love the colors.
|
Not usually a fan of snowball quilts, but I LIKE this one. So pretty and feminine. Just lovely.
|
My first thought is a simple curvy design in the snowballs, then treat the dark HST corners and the cornerstone square as a block and do simple curvy outline (like LA quilters substitute for SID).
Great quilt! |
Please post photos when you have the quilting finished? I'd love to see what you decided to do!
