I'm not much help on machine quilting but the lines in this are so strong I think I would definitely go with straight lines in some shape or form.

I think straight line in some sort of geometric pattern would be cool. I don't think it calls for FMQ. It is so modern. Cannot wait to see what you do with this.Bernie Kringelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753481379287809548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228319710577550585.post-2682096390427956262015-06-13T12:47:07.811-04:002015-06-13T12:47:07.811-04:00That is stunning!

It's just gorgeous! I know just what you mean about it being fragile at this stage. It is always a relief to me to get a quilt binding on, because then i feel like the quilt is safe. <br /><br />Using a walking foot is a very good idea for quilting this quilt. It will save a lot of distortion along those bias grains. I had one idea - what if you chose the shape of a gem and then quilted it in concentric patterns? It would go with the deep gem like sparkle of your design.<br /><br />Have fun at the sidewalk sale! Oh and the fabrics you chose to make vertical stripes to enlarge your niece's bedspread are going to look wonderful with it!

I like the idea of variations in the quilting in some patches, and since you have used solids, your quilting will show up very well. I am trying to do something similar on my current quilt, though I haven't gotten to the FMQ part. A walking foot would make straight lines quite easy, though turning a quilt of that size is quite troublesome. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228319710577550585.post-39774843610547113832015-06-13T00:32:04.878-04:002015-06-13T00:32:04.878-04:00Wow! That looks so fantastic!!

You could stabilise by stitching in the ditch first Starting each line from the opposite direction then the bias shouldn't be too much of an issueCamillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193180385628524129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228319710577550585.post-83345606851997132422015-06-12T21:31:42.342-04:002015-06-12T21:31:42.342-04:00Awesome awesome quilt and design.

My impulse is always to use curvy quilting on really angular quilts.

I think since the overall design is so stunning, I would leave that as the focus and just keep the quilting to simple straight lines across, but that it just me. I love the idea of emphasizing the quadrants with straight lines.Whitney Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02984736870514793225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228319710577550585.post-49341789073524212902015-06-12T15:47:02.493-04:002015-06-12T15:47:02.493-04:00Amazing!

If that is for real( my eyes play tricks sometimes) could you do straight lines but do them in a triangle in each of the four quadrants?Alycia~Quiltygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283575876006453806noreply@blogger.com
