Ok so, you think a wavy diagonal stitch. Across the whole quilt? only across the watery part, across including the windows of animals. Both directions or only one? I'm not sure I am picturing this.

I need to get this quilt done but am at a loss on the quilting, so of course I am working on my fall block exchange
Let me try again.

I notice that the file names on your two sets of pictures are the same. I think that's causing the confusion as to which one gets displayed. You might PM admin and ask him to look at the problem.

They are in the correct places at the moment, except you have to scroll down on this one to see the quilt. I am not going to mess with it anymore. I think I redid these pictures 4 times yesterday.

I think I would do the wavy lines across the whole quilt on the diagonal in a matching or invisible thread. I think it would look really sharp, but it's your project, so think on it a while.

What's the name of the pattern??? I saw some train fabric the other day for hubby that would look perfect in that pattern. (Hubby is retired engineer and I've yet to make him a quilt.... :roll: )
