I found this fabric at my first stop on a shop hop. Wow! I just had to buy it for my kitchen. I need some ideas on how to quilt it. Please keep in mind that I am a beginner. Thanks for your help!

I am so in love with that. It is so beautiful.

I really like with you have done with it!! ♥ it!

That is beautiful, not sure how you quilt it.

gorgous piece!!

I think I would just outline the flowers and then echo the other deisgns..... even then border...

Beautiful!

WOW! That is beautiful! What site did you find it at?

Wow - what fun colors!

Love it, love the colors. Not sure on the quilting but I'd think you'd want to keep it fairly simple, some sort of outline or echo?

I got the fabric at a shop called Thimbles in Trego, WI.
The fabric is called Daydreams II by Stephanie Brandenburg exclusively for Camelot Cottons.

Wow, that is absolutely gorgeous!!

Ooooooh.....beautiful

It's beautiful. What great fabrics. Have you tried to FMQ? This quilt would look great with the stitching around the print to make it pop.

I just bought the same thing at the sewing expo in novi mi. I thought it was silk when I first looked at it. I did not pick up the stripe...want more accent on the wine color. Now I am sorry! I really like yours with the border

I was very surprised when I opened up the stripey fabric to find that the other half was mostly black. I had to buy twice as much to get enough of the colorful side for the border. I will use the black side for the binding.
I'm sure yours will look great with the wine color. I might have gone that way but couldn't find anything the right color.

That is so beautiful! I love the way the border fabric compliments the center. Wonderful job.

Very Gorgeous!!!

I Love the colors!! Great job...

Beautiful! I would outline the flowers then give them some detail with thread painting - eg veins on the leaves, round pebbles to represent seeds in the centre of the sunflowers etc. Then I'd give some texture to the background with either pebbles or a close stipple. The border I would do a trailing vine with leaves and abstract flower shapes. But then I like a lot of FMQ - especially in wall hangings. Otherwise you could just outline the flowers then quilt concentric straght lines around the border, perpendicular to the stripes. :-D

That is stunning fabric and a great quilt. I would probably outline the flowers echo the rest, as was already said, and quilt leaves onto the border.

If you are not comfortable quilting it, maybe set it aside while you practice of something less spectacular.

It.s so beautiful

Thanks for all of the wonderful comments and the great ideas for quilting.
k3n, I would love to do everything you suggested; I just don't know if I am capable. I see a lot of practice fmq in my future!

Beautiful. Love the colors. The border fabric really matches the picture.

Sure you are - like you say, it's just practice practice then a bit more practice. :lol:

I would outline the centers of the sunflowers, the petals of the red flowers and a few of the yellow flowers in the foreground. I would also ouline just a few of the leaves and stitch in the ditch around the border. Absolutely beautiful.

I really like the fabric and the framing that you have done. Can't wait to see it completed.
