What do you think I should quilt this quilt in. I am leaning towards a flower with white thread. The flower is elligant looking. What do you all think. I made this for a customer and I want it to awe them.

Not sure about the quilting but I love the quilt and the furniture!!

susie0808 10-30-2011 11:09 AM

The quilt top is beautiful!

Flowers might look nice. Do you have any other designs you can do to chose from?

quiltingdesignsforyou 10-30-2011 11:17 AM

I have lots of them and can make up my own quilting patterns but the flower is the most elligant that I have right now. Any sugestions of anything other than a flower is welcome. Just trying to get ideas before I quilt it.

Feathers in the diagonal rows.

Beautiful! I love log cabin quilts. Be sure to come back and show us your quilting too!

amandasgramma 10-30-2011 12:45 PM

feathers in diagonal rows -- and use white/cream on the light color and a color to match the colored areas!!!!!! It's beautiful!

athomenow 10-30-2011 12:54 PM

It's beautiful so I'm sure they'll be wowed no matter what you chose.

The flower is good. You know the design. I think adding maybe some feathering like Tealfalon suggested would add to it.

Have you decided how? As far as placement of design? It's going to look beautiful! We all have a way of over thinking projects. You'll do fine!!!

Beautiful quilt and furniture. I love the feather quilting

EllenwoodGa 10-30-2011 01:09 PM

Your quilt is wonderful, I love the white fabrics U used.
Sorry, I can't help U with the quilting design, that's one of my problems, I never can decide on what design to use on my different tops. I tried reading book on this subject, that didn't help me. Plus I am not great at machine qquilting. Several of my quilts I take to a local quilt shop to have them quilted. Hoping that Santa will bring me a long arm !!!!!!

Jersey Gal 10-30-2011 01:32 PM

How about a leaf pattern.
If the flower isn't too big it might work.
Can you try the design on a scrap block of these fabrics to
see what the flower design might look like.

Very pretty.

redquilter 10-30-2011 01:48 PM

Can't give advice as to the quilting but I wanted to tell you that's a beautiful quilt.

KerryK 10-30-2011 02:04 PM

Flowers are elegant, but my thinking is that feathers would be beautiful. (Love the bed, too!)

NDQuilts 10-30-2011 04:32 PM

I've quilted these with two border designs and alternated them across the quilt top on the diagonal.

TacoMama 10-30-2011 04:39 PM

I don't know what to quilt it with, but the quilt is beautiful!

Jingle 10-30-2011 04:44 PM

Beautiful, I would just do FMQ, about how I quilt all my quilts.

mandyk 10-30-2011 04:45 PM

Feathers in the white diagonals and straight lines int the other area on an angle. Check a Judy Martin book. She shows fabulous quilting.

sandpat 10-30-2011 04:48 PM

Depends on what your flower looks like :D I'd vote for the feathers in running in the diagonal white areas too, opposite direction in the colored diagonal logs.

Do you have any quilt preview paper...the kind you draw on with a dry erase marker? You can try them out that way.

mamaw 10-30-2011 04:49 PM

I think the quilt is beautiful and the bed too! Flowers would be a nice addition; and cannot wait to see the finished product.

jitkaau 10-31-2011 03:03 AM

My choice would be feathers but you haven't given us a taste of what your flower looks like. It might be just the shot.

Babs194068 10-31-2011 03:37 AM

cyniree 10-31-2011 04:33 AM
