Hi everyone,
I'm trying to finish a twin size quilt; it is on my frame but I'm stucked. It's the Does not compute quilt by Boo Davis. You can see a picture here:

I choose a boxy design to fill the cream zigzag and some long striped curves for the orange zigzag. It's nice! But how to quilt the face and body of the robot? I want it to "pop" somehow but don't want to distract the eyes from the whimsical features of it. Any suggestion? Thanks!

On the face I might outline the eyes and mouth and then echo out from them? The tummy kind of looks like a TV or monitor and I might do lines across kind of like an EKG heart readout?

Thanks, Tartan. I followed your suggestion and it's nice! Pictures will follow when it will be all done :-)

Mostly you will be OK with stitching in the ditch. CUTE !!!

I have the book that pattern is in. It is a cutie. (I was going to try to find her book to see how she suggested quilting it, but you are ahead of me and are done already. When I made a quilt from that book, she did have a quilting suggestion that I used and really liked. ...sort of glad I am not going to try to find the book.... )

She suggest to do allover diagonal lines going in the opposite side of the orange zigzag. But it was not possible to do this easily on a frame. I'm really happy with what I done, can't wait to finish it and post a picture. There is so many cute and whimsical quilt pattern in this book, I want to try them all!
