    Default Christmas Table.... How to quilt?? Hmmm

    Hope these photos come alive here... I am asking if anyone out there has ideas as to how I should quilt these?? And also will I need additional glue to place the iron on crystals? Not sure how well the iron on will work ... probably can't wash them..[ATTACH=CONFIG]437638[/ATTACH]

    If the iron on crystals don't say whether they are washable or not I would definitely use one of the permanent, washable glues.
    As to quilting how about quilting around each tree, then SID around each of the colors? I would start with sid the red area then see how you like the look. Then do the white and green areas if you want.

    You did a great job. I saw this pattern and thought it was terrific. How challenging is it?

    Lovely!!

    I would quilt them both the same way. Outline the tree/ornament and micro stiple around them in the white/black area to make each of them pop and stand out (or some other small filler). SITD around the outer edge of the bargello and either SITD the center between the red and green .. or SITD the center bars of the bargello where it touches the border of the table runner (the thickest and the thinnest bargello columns).

    Both are very beautiful.
    I would just do a meander quilting with a thread that blends in so as not to compete with the layout.
