    Default Suggestions for quilting

    I'm piecing together this DP quilt using my kaleidoscope pattern and looking forward to the quilting. Usually, I SID around each block and once horizontally and once vertically through each mid-circle. I've learned fun some techniques like using painter's tape and washable markers to mark lines to follow. Keep in mind that I'm still a beginner at this, please help with ways to stitch on my domestic machine.
    • pic 2 is my current project layout
    • pic 1 is a bag that used the spiral ruler to make curved lines
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

    Wow! Your quilt is stunning! I love the use of both the Drunkard's Path and the kaleidoscope block what beautiful blocks. As far as quilting goes I would do a cross cut only because I would not distract from the blocks with something more fancy and as a beginner you should be able to do that easily on your domestic machine. Other that that I would send this beauty out to a LA'er.

    Bag is very good. Your top will be beautiful however you quilt it. I don't think fancy type quilting will detract from it. I have no real suggestion.

    very lovely! love your bright colors. can you use that spiral ruler in an alternative way and just repeat large waves across the blocks? use one arc of the spiral, then flip it upside down to make continuous lines throughout?

    I love how the curved lines on the bag alter the entire look of the design. A good example of how a little can add so much.

    Wow!!! Beautiful!! I used to teach Stack N Whack classes at the local quilt shop. It amazed me how much the fabric changes by cutting it in a kaleidoscope.
