chickenscratch Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Hi All, I finally finished piecing this Relay for Life donation quilt. I'm looking for suggestions of how to quilt it. It is made up of alternating Clay's Choice and Spinning Windmills blocks with a zig-zag sashing between. The fabrics are all variations of red, white, and blue. The inner blue border is 1 1/2", the middle pieced beige border is 3", and the outer border is 1 1/2 ". The squares are 8" finished. Any suggestions. Thanks, Teresa www.chickenscratchquilting.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I couldn't decide how to quilt this, but it had to be done, so here it is. I did spinning thingies around the center point. It was just something I made up as I went. It started out with just a few lines, but I found myself adding more and more until the block was full. I did ruler line diamonds in the windmill blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crafty Unicorn Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Theresa, The folks will buy lots of tickets for that raffle! The "spinning things" are great. They make me think of sparklers and fire works on the 4th of July. Leslie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bekah Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Theresa, I agree with Sue in Scottsdale, the spinny things remind me of sparklers also. What a great job.
