    Default One Block Wonder Quilting Design

    Hello,

    I'm sandwiching up a one block wonder quilt and I know how I want to quilt the borders, that will be some multiple swooping lines, but I don't know what to do in the middle area with the hexagons. There's all those lovely hexi lines which I'd like to just SITD. But, I don't know if I should because the SA on each block is pressed open.

    Anybody have some experience with this? Can I SITD, even though the seams are pressed open?

    OR, can you suggest an alternative quilting design - keeping in mind that I can't FMQ yet, I'm limited to straight and/or gentle sloping lines at my current novice level.

    There is a great illustration on all kinds of quilting designs for OBW on QB. Try the search feature or maybe someone will post a link to it as I don't know how to do that.

    Some time ago, Buzzinbumble posted on this topic with these handy templates, which I posted to my QB Blog to keep handy. Some of these are quilted with simple lines or curves. I hope you find one that is helpful to you.

    I have a OBW in early process so this will be a big help later when I am ready to quilt it. Thanks to both!!!
