You have been really busy! That is a beautiful quilt. I love the black/white/red combination. Striking! I have no clue how I would quilt it (well, yes I do-I would send it to my long arm quilter and let her decide-but I know that does not help you any. Sorry!)

That is a Queen size quilt; and my daughter who I love very much has lost one that I sent out to be quilted. Never agian.

I would hand quilt but just follow the triangle pattern and do stich in the ditch!!!

Love the quilt and love the colors. I'm a Texas Tech Red Raider and red and black are our school colors. Very nice. Doesn't it make you a little crazy when things get "lost" by people with no emotional investment in them. I'd be so mad that a quilt got lost. Did the quilter reimburse you for the quilt? I just can't imagine...my mind is boggled!

I've made a couple of these and had the same quandary. I saw one somewhere that I'd like to try, though. They quilted a zig-zag with the lines started at the wide portion of each triangle. Don't know if that explains it properly. Just draw a line from the middle of the wide section of a triangle to the wide section of the adjacent triangle. Looked great when I saw it.

I think it will look good which ever way you go...mighty sharp that's for sure..

quilt4u -- I know this is not very imaginative; but what about quilting inside each pyamid 1/4 inch? Would help to emphasize the shape of the pyramid while at the same time keeping the design simple. I think it would make it look like an antique quilt. Just a thought.
