A customer bought this quilt top and needs it for a party tomorrow, i need to quilt it. I have only tied my around the world quilts...never quilted them.
I don't want to do swirly's all inside as it is a "country quilt"
Suggestions???
I thought about just making a diamond around the entire thing...but i need HELP lol

Sorry I can't be much help, but I hope she didn't just drop it on you with 24 hour notice!!! If so, I would just tell her that with such short notice, you can either do an all-over meander (vine/leaf etc) or SID. I don't machine quilt, so don't have a clue

She called me yesterday asking if I had any quilts for sale, I only had two tops that didn't have homes, so she bought this one...I am charging her $100 for it, it is for her Mother In Laws birthday and her party is Sat. I had everything here to finish it, i just never gave any thought has to how to quilt it LOL

I only recently started Machine quilting, so i am not really "comfortable" yet with doing alot of experimenting LOL
When i look at the picture, I do see the "diamond" formation" I might just go with that since i am still new to the quilting world.

I would quilt a daisy pattern on this with Spring nearly here and this being a country quilt it would look special saying that i have never actually quited a flower pattern on a quilt and i am guessing it is pretty hard to do
