    Default Cannot Decide How To Quilt This

    With all the straight lines, I know I want something that will have some nice curves in an all-over pattern. Other than that, I am not sure. Do you have some ideas? Oh, by the way, I named it "Seattle".

    Feathers and swirls? Swirls and pebbles? Baptist fan? I am better at coming up with custom quilting ideas than E2E, but I hope these help you in your process of figuring out how to quilt this beauty!

    Wow, I had not thought of feathers! I could make them any size I want, or even different sizes. Thanks so much.

    Well, the Seattle area has been very windy the last couple of days, so maybe parallel horizontal curves that make you think of wind?

    I have no idea on how to quilt it as I always send mine to a LA. I just wanted to tell you your quilt is beautiful. Love your fabric choices. Good luck on ideas and I am sure someone on this board will be very helpful for you.

    Feathers sound lovely on that graphic quilt.

    Feathers, all over! Have feather creative fun while you go, recreating your own style. Did that on a queen size "Circle A-Round" quilt and the more you do the better it gets! btw, what is the name of this quilt design. It is beautiful.
