OK, I've finally (after 3 or 4 years) got it sandwiched. Now, how would you quilt it? I want to do it on my Janome 6600. It's not a full size, kinda a short twin size. Would make a good nap quilt.

REally cute. I like it alot. How about the all over meander (sort of loose) then some pebbling in the small border and loops in the larger border. Just thinking out loud :) Maybe use a medium to dark grey thread.

I like your quilt, but I'm not about to start handing out quilting advice at my stage of experience. :)

Beautiful quilt. I love your colors. I agree that meandering would look great. And grey thread would be a good choice.

Love it!! I have that template and have yet to use it. I have red, black and white fabric that I cannot figure out what pattern to use. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

love it! would prob be best for you to stitch in the ditch unless you want to free motion quilt it, which is alsew an option, just letting you know, tho, fmq involves lotsa muscles you dont realize u r using at the time, ie, neck shoulders, arms..etc.
just do an all over, and it will be grand!
