How to quilt the body of a big blue robot?
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to finish a twin size quilt; it is on my frame but I'm stucked. It's the Does not compute quilt by Boo Davis. You can see a picture here:

I choose a boxy design to fill the cream zigzag and some long striped curves for the orange zigzag. It's nice! But how to quilt the face and body of the robot? I want it to "pop" somehow but don't want to distract the eyes from the whimsical features of it. Any suggestion? Thanks!

Thanks, Tartan. I followed your suggestion and it's nice! Pictures will follow when it will be all done :-)

I have the book that pattern is in. It is a cutie. (I was going to try to find her book to see how she suggested quilting it, but you are ahead of me and are done already. When I made a quilt from that book, she did have a quilting suggestion that I used and really liked. ...sort of glad I am not going to try to find the book.... )
