How would you quilt this?
#1
This quite big wall hanging of Christmas baubles is made with all straight pieces but looks as if it has curves. How would you quilt it? I think an all-over pattern would spoil the effect. I'm wondering about stitch in the ditch round each of the baubles and the borders. Would that be enough quilting? Would it take away the curved effect? Any other ideas? I can do SITD and fairly simple FMQ.

I think I would do SITD around each ornament and then a small stipple in each white area of each ornament. It will make the colored areas stand out and will make the white areas look like a different finish....kinda like the "frosted" ornaments. JMHO

It's a beautiful wall hanging! Nice job. Looking forward to seeing it when you have it complete.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm glad you agree with my idea of SITD around the baubles, and I think those of you who've suggested some light quilting on the background are right: it's a rather dull green, and it would be good to give it more interest.
