ffq-lar Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Regular old CC's. Metro bright yellow and black threads. A ribbon meander in the border. And a little puffin in the center. This quilt has been in my possession for 4 years! A customer used it as a "place holder quilt". She gave me 15 tops when she was moving to a new house and I quilted one every other month for her until I was down to three tops. Then she started piecing again and would swap out whatever was next in line for her latest effort. I think she swapped out this guy six times! This little sweetie is the last of her quilts and now she has to schedule better because she doesn't have a "placeholder" any more! Isn't that a great idea for a prolific piecer? She always had a spot for an emergency baby or charity quilt without having to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyLake Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I think that I'd establish the quilting style by what you choose to do on the black inner border, as it will show. Is the customer looking for a Halloween theme or anything goes? I would add some interest to the black/orange/white by using a vibrant green thread on the black and perhaps purple on the white. You could do continuous curve on the black triangles and a more complicated sashing design on the black inner border. I would go for contrast with your quilting -- the pieces are all geometric. Find curving designs. Show us when you finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
