Had to adjust the design so it would go around the corners but it worked great. The stencil has three wave lines so you can use two lines on the smaller and three lines on the larger. I had to go slow in order to keep the curves even but it worked out very well. Quilting this way only in the dark lines will give it some character. I am sure they (The Stencil Co folks) would tell you the distance between each line so you can get the size that would fit into the space.
But, what I really want to know is: Is this a pattern? Or did you make it up! I want to steal it!

Hi All - thanks for the ideas. We had a power outage last night, so this is the first I'm back online.
I've been thinking about SITD, and focusing mostly on quilting in the black sashing. I like the suggestion of SITD every fourth/fifth strip in the striped bars. I've only done one project with curved quilting/free motion, so I'd describe my skill level as very low...
The pattern is an adaptation / minaturization of a pattern by Brenda Miller (Among Brenda's Quilts) called California Rain. It is one of the Hoffman free quilt patterns for their line Full Spectrum. http://www.hoffmanfabrics.com/conten...sp?ImageID=458
On my blog, I've described the process I used to miniaturize the pattern. I also changed one element, as I don't care for the corners on one part replacing a more solid corner with a droplet instead.
Because I ended up making an extra set of strips, I've got extra and have plans to use them in another miniature. The colors in this project were partly chosen by the tastes of my swap partner. I plan to try this one again, using my favorite colors with 1/2 inch as the base measurement versus the 3/4 inch base I'm using here.
Cheers, K

I like your quilt better than Hoffman idea. I think I would SITD every third strip of the strip sets and then do either meandering stitch or feather stitch in the black sashing but not stitch over the small blocks in the border. You might think about SITD around each block so that they would be the feature of the sashing then do the meandering or feather
Would love seeing the finished the quilt, please post another picture. Chris
