Bonnie in Ok Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 What would you do? It is a king size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethDurand Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 It looks pretty busy from here, so why not an edge to edge? I'm sure someone else will chime in, but that's my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kueser Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Cross hatch the strip pieced blocks and do a nice feather design in the other blocks. Just my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchanted Quilting Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 You could pick out a single motif for the strip pieced block...centering it and a bit of echo if needed. The pieced block could involve feathers or further division of the center block to add a star motif, smaller CC's etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I think I'd put a pretty floral block in the blocks framed with the tan batik. In the other areas, either cross hatch or stipple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Unless you do super-high-contrast thread, not much is going to show on any of it. For a lower budget, a nice curvy/leafy overall would look nice. If their budget calls for more custom, I'd still use curvy designs, but drop something in each block. Did you photograph that one "creatively pieced block" on purpose (unless that's a trick of the camera)? The other blocks look like they're fine, but it looks like she "made it fit" with that one. If that's the case you don't want to draw attention to that by crosshatching or other straight-line quilting. How are the borders? If they were a challenge for her, you can drop designs in the blocks and stitch an overall on the borders to tame them if they're extra full.

Bonnie in Ok Posted August 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Well the other blocks are similar. The borders aren't exactly square but can work with it. She knows it's problems but wants it quilted. She wanted denser quilting but will see what she wants to spend. Thanks for all the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie in Ok Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Finished with pics. I know the corner looks strange but when I see it first hand it gives the corner a heart shape. Did a large design in middle because the back was peiced with large left overs and grains did not go same directions so had a lot of stretching but managed to get no tucks. I think because of larger design. It was Indian summer and crosshatch on the borders. The customer wants to turn the outside border for the binding.
