Hand quilting design question
I am getting ready to handquilt a top made in. 1900. It's 9 inch churn blocks alternating with plain blocks. What design would you use in the plain blocks that would be true to the era in which the top was made? I'll use cotton batting and a knife edge on it.

I recommend visiting the Quilted Pineapple site. She is a LA quilter but has done a lot of research on antique quilting designs. She has some beautiful examples on her site. Particularly the Hospitality quilt she recently did would work quite well.
