Looking for ideas for quilting

[cstucke80]

I have an appliqué quilt that has rows of rescue vehicles , sashings are roads , and then about a 2 1/2" solid next to it. I figure I will outline her appliqué but should I use just a simple meander to fill in the rest of the row or ?. Then on the roads, needing ideas. It is like about a 4" row.

I wish I could post a picture, it is a nice children's quilt. She does a great job with her appliqué .

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Outline the appliqué, doodle in the background, you didn't say how big the sashing is, but ditch it and do a solid center line for the road marking. Outer border, can you trace or use a coloring book for some vehicles and put there?

The outer border she used a pattern that has all the vehicles all over print. The rows might be about 6". , the solid sashing is maybe 2 1/2", the road maybe 4 to 5 " it is about 2" less than the vehicle rows.

In the long borders you could quilt a couple of curly's then a long cursive VROOM and then more swirls?

Outer border might be too busy for any complicated quilting to be seen and appreciated?  Concentrate the "show off" quilting in the more solid areas.

Sounds cute - you can take a photo with your phone and email to yourself or a camera - any  .jpg works!

 

How is your sister?  It must be hurtful and frustrating to hear that all the time, but we would like to hear!

I agree with Cathy, adding some swirls and maybe some tire tracks, and a stop sign here and there next to the intersections would be fun!
