That is so unique and pretty. Did you design this yourself or is it a pattern of some sort?
Were you planning on handquilting or machine quilting? If I were quilt it I think I would do this: The flower fabric lends itself to outline quilting the flower and that wonderful veining in each petal. I would then draw the flower and resize it to fit into your setting triangles and the pieced squares. I would try to mimic the leaves of the flower or come up with leaf and vine motif for the stip pieced areas and then I would SID the star blocks, the HST blocks and the pinwheel block. The piano key border could have a continuous feather or again repeat that lilly in your focus fab. |
Stunning quilt! I would want to SID all the pieced areas, do a small stipple outlining the 3 printed flowers to make them pop, then add some veins to the flowers. In the solid triangles, I would want to do a feather or just a meander. I would want do all this if my skills were up to the task (which they aren't, I need to practice lots more!!)

The quilt design was from a book called "Beyond the Block" designed by Linda Johnson. She and her sister jane Wells are from Indiana. I have both their books and love their designs! I spent a lot of time assembling fabrics for the quilt before attempting to put it together.
|
I think you can do different quilting in differing areas.
The concept lends itself to variety. IMHO. |
I agree with the others and would just outline the lilies in the blocks. But that seems to be the easy part of the decision. I'm not sure about the rest. But I would quilt it using diverse design mirroring the varied look of the pieced top.

Beautiful!!!!

Wow that is very pretty.
|
After it is quilted I will be adding a couple of petals that hang over the edge of the lily blocks. I've been toying with adding a few beads, too.
|
Gorgeous quilt and I love the colors. Maybe some echo quilting around the flowers?
|
Love your quilt.
