I just finished my Farm Girl Vintage quilt top and it is on the longarm waiting to be finished later today. Any suggestions on a pattern that would not distract from the blocks? I have pantographs and am confident with some free motion like meandering, butterflies, swirls, etc. Thank you for any suggestions.

Not much help till I see pictures .

Echo would work to bring the image to the forefront on many of the blocks with the fillers in the main part of the background.

I am sorry - the photo will not upload. Good idea, RedGarnet222!

Are you talking about Lori Holt's pattern? If yes, it's a pretty sampler quilt. My thought is a diagonal cross hatch for the quilting since the top has so much going on.

A good thought also. Time to face the music and get it started! Thanks everyone!

I will be watching this since I am near finishing this quilt top. Starting to think about how I might quilt it. I think the one on display at the LQS had a simple, open swirl. It didn't detract from the look of the piecing at all, very subtle. The piecing and fabrics are just so cute and tiny. I will be doing FMQ on my domestic machine so will probably try something like the open swirl, a little harder to accomplish on a small machine than a long arm. Hope you let us know what you decide.

YEAH! Finally uploaded! I am going to wait until tomorrow to quilt as it is getting dark outside and the natural daylight helps me.

Beautiful colors...I would definitely stick with something simple since so not to take away from you wonderful blocks.
