Christmas table runner?
I have the mittens buttonhole stitched to the background and I am now thinking about the quilting. I will outline stitch around the details on the applique mittens with matching thread. I am thinking of a simple meander around the background fabric between the mittens with that gold thread. What do you think?[ATTACH=CONFIG]571390[/ATTACH]

I think the gold thread will look good, but knowing me, I would audition on a scrap the green, red and blue along with the gold and then determine which I liked best. Your quilts are wonderful and you are very knowledgeable so I am sure that what ever you decide on will be great.

Umm I'm new to free motion quilting myself,but if you know how already then maybe you could do some mittens maybe 2 or 3 times bigger than the background mittens. Just an idea. I want to see this when it is done please. I been following it.

Whenever I have a specific item (the mittens), I like to do a couple rows of echo stitching to really set the item off. I think the gold thread would be good and would give a unifying look to the three mittens. But, if you are going to use a solid looking binding, I would probably use that color for the quilting.
