ffq-lar Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Follow the link to an easy overall I used on a rainbow quilt destined for a baby boy. A few of the fabrics had tiny stars so I did the standard meander with a hanging star. After finishing one pass I decided to ribbon it back for some extra interest and it made a world of difference. Poly batting and Rainbows primary-colors variegated thread. The backer was a deep blue with tiny gold stars, so I used gold thread on the back and it looked great. Just thought I'd share and mention any "meander with a flair" can get the same treatment and become more interesting. https://www.flickr.com/photos/larech/14673666225/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenniferBernard Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 You are right! The ribbon back does add to it. I have a plain quilt in that just needs a meander but I just hate to do the standard squiggle here and there. This one will spice it up a bit!
