Now onto the Quilting!

Finished sewing Sailing Through Suez  and now have to get my head around
how I would like to quilt. Bit tricky this one.


Minimal quilting is the order of the day I feel, my initial thoughts are to hand quilt just the 
solid "strips" and leave the Rings fabric without any, I need to shop around for  four different
variegated finer Perle cotton to match up
with the solids first off.

If anyone has any inspired ideas please do let me know!!
The story about this small piece will be told when it's quilted and bound, would
have done this today but have a shocker
of a cold etc. and I'm off back to sip hot honey and lemon
and put my feet up with a good quilting book!

Good to see you're back Sujata!

  3. Maureen, this is gorgeous! I am sure however you choose to quilt it will work great. I would go with simple waves across the quilt. I can't wait to get back in the studio!

  4. Maureen, I see awesome waves running down between your triangles. I'm thinking like a fish, who look for the easiest place to go around the rock obsticles. How do I contribute, would love to help spread the joy of Sujata's book.
