I've been a busy bee and suggestions needed
Finished the Michael Murphy Hug quilts and put the binding on. Now
just need a label. A friend who wanted to participate but couldn't get her blocks ready in time is making them into labels. Then I put the borders on the Supernova block. First border I didn't like so -- off it came. I like the second. Now I just have to figure out how to quilt it. Should the quilting be dramatic and noticeable - like a metallic, or should it blend into the background so the fabrics are the most noticeable. Suggestions needed. It isn't as easy to rip out quilting as it it to rip off a border you don't like. http://community.webshots.com/myphot...ecurity=MKPKkp Linda PATCHogue, NY. |

Whoa! That gorgeous! I think I'd like blazing metallic quilting! However
don't ask me what to put on it....just tell me when it's done. :-) The quilting designs are always the hang up for me. "ALZ" wrote in message news Whoops - I linked it to my page.

With those wonderful colors and the large expanses of black, I think I'd go with a gorgeous thread that showed.

That's a fun quilt. My suggestion for quilting would be to use a couple of shimmering threads using colors from the quilt. I wouldn't go to overboard, I'd keep it pretty subtle. Geometric or freemotion . Have fun whatever you do. Mary Ann |

Don't know anything about actual
quilting, but I had to write to tell you how beautiful your entire album is. Susan aka Betsy Ross |

That's such a stunning quilt, Linda. I love it.
Like Kathyl said, choosing the quilting is the hardest part for me. However, I would quilt the coloured parts differently from the black area. You wouldn't want to know what I might do in the coloured parts! But in the black I would use something shimmery but making it complementary to the coloured part so that it enhanced rather than overpowered. How to do? Sorry ... ..
