It's so pretty! I love your colors. :)

You could also quilt just inside each square, like about 1/4 inch in. It would look really cute and add a little pizzazz. Very cute quilt by the way. Love the colors and the various sizes and placement of the squares!!

Well, first off, I love the colors and fabrics in this quilt! It's just so charming.
I like either of the two suggestions for the quilting that you have gotten, but will toss another one in the mix: why don't you just do in the ditch on the up and down rows and not bother with the side to side ones? I think that would be enough quilting, depending how big your blocks are, but they don't look 10" wide, so you should be fine. I do my stitch in the ditch a little different from most- I go on both sides of the seam about a quarter inch from it. So you would have two parallel lines a half inch apart for each seam. It seams to be a little bit sturdier that way. It is twice as much stitching, but it's easy stitching because you have the line to follow. |
very pretty quilt. sorry i can't help on the stitching as i tie all mine,,

very pretty quilt, I would do echo quilting on it, 1'4 in inside the squares
