How Shall I Quilt It?
So, I finished a baby quilt today, flannel on both sides, non-flam
batting in the middle. All basted. There's a pic on the last page of my quilting album at webshots. Just says "Baby Quilt". I know I want to do a stencilled cable in the outside border (yes, it is black). Does anyone have suggestions on how to quilt the center? Maybe I'm just tired, but nothing I've thought of seems to be what it wants. If it helps, the gray rounds are eagles, in various flight and non-flight positions. The feline QI, Jazmyn, has already inspected it, and says so far, it passes. Thanks in advance, TerriLee in WA (state) http://community.webshots.com/user/tlbishop |

I looked and I thought, TerriLee, but I just don't know. Certainly for a
baby quilt, you don't want to do much and make the quilt stiff. I agree with Jazmyn, it is soft and bright so it passes with flying (?) colors. Polly "TerriLee in WA" wrote in message ...

Maybe stars? Nothing I think of really seems to scream out that "this is it", but I'll keep thinking. I do like the quilt, though, TerriLee! -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas sw.foster1 (at) gmail (dot) com (remove/change the obvious) http://www.sandymike.net |

How Shall I Quilt It?
Neat quilt! I'd probably play with each border...
You are thinking cable in the outer border So, something loopy in the print one (is it angels?) Angular in the half square triangle border - I'm big on echoing the block seams the width of my walking foot. Something to emphasize the angles at any rate and a change from the curves of the outer two borders. Black again - maybe a small cable or maybe link the narrow black and print border together with a cable with width of the two together. Maybe a meander as we get close to the center - not too tight though because you don't want to throw off the balance of the quilt. Rail fence block - lots of fun things here..and "X" in each log, a simple line down the center of each log and stitching in each ditch, and cool stencil design that fits the block.... hope this gets you started. marcella In article , TerriLee in WA wrote: So, I finished a baby quilt today, flannel on both sides, non-flam batting in the middle.

Terrilee:
The quilting pattern ... always a challenge! I would suggest quilting each quarter of the center block individually ... perhaps a concentric circles. The brown border looks almost solid. If so, you can quilt words on it. If not, maybe a cable. Both black borders could support words, if you choose. I suggest words because I see the print features eagles and I was thinking of scripture verses that mention eagles. If that is not appropriate, a song about eagles ("Wind beneath your wings") might work ... parents surely act as such to the babes and kiddies. Gotta go work on my own blocks now.
