Here's one of two quilties i'm making for DQS6, they look the same. How should I quilt them? I was thinking of following the rings but that feels boring, but on the other hand it's so bright I think you wouldn't see anything detailed.
Help?!

how about squiggles radiating out from the centre - like a sunburst??

Well you could always send it to me and I'll quilt it for you, but I can't guarantee I'll return it. :)

How about waves within the circles?
I like the idea of the sun rays too.

Haha Laura! Making it actually made me think of your propeller quilt for Aaron.
Thanks Ladies! I'm glad you like it. Squiggles could work!

Since it's so bright and colorful, and you said yourself that any quilting might just get lost, why not pick a design that will look great on the reverse side? I liked the concentric circles, or sun rays, or something on that theme.

woweeeeeeee! Love it!
Maybe you can alternate patterns between the different rings.

chickenfoot (38 months ago | reply)
i like the idea of the sunburst pattern radiating from the center
how about doing something different in the corner bits, then the center circle would pop out
maybe small stippling out there???
this is gorgeous sarah

Flying geese quilted into the circles, going into opposed directions. I'd use thick batting and quilt around the geese tightly so the geese "pop" out!
