You could adjust the size and cut it out of index paper or a file folder. You could probably get it to be one line quilting.

Big quilts are hard to work wiht when you have a small space to work in so maybe moving you machine to that table you have it on in the pictures, might be a lot easier.. Good luck, Huggies, Fay

What a great quilt! Because your quilting will not show up that well on the skull fabric I think I would do a meandering stitch around the blocks and then stitch in the ditch around your squares. You have a white border around the quilt and I would get a little fancier there. It will show up nicely on the white and being on the edge of the quilt it will be easier to accomplish.

I love your quilt. I'm looking for a quilt idea for my grandson who is graduating in the spring. I think yours might be my inspiration--I'll need OSU orange instead of the red. Thanks for sharing.
