This is a picture of the southwest style quilt I am working on. I will quilt it in sections but need advice on quilting it. Should I just quilt in the ditch or do something more complicated? The borders aren't on yet but they are of the print fabric with the blue pattern.

Very nice quilt - love the colors and fabric.

Beautiful! What pattern did you use?
As for quilting it I'd SITD or do a pattern that was feathers or another southwest design in the blue centers. Just a thought.

I got the original idea from RobertKaufman.com but then reworked the pattern because it was only for a childs size. I also wanted to use strips and the pattern called for all little pieces. I never thought of feathers, what a good idea.

You are like me - find a pattern you like ----- and change it! My DH wants me to make him (us) a queen size quilt in Southwestern style, but use mostly tans, browns, red and only some blue. I like the pattern you have used but for DH would change the color scheme.

If you can't find the original pattern let me know and I will e-mail it to you.

It's very pretty. I couldn't tell you how to quilt it.

It's very Southwest and eye-catching. Love your color choices!
