    I love your quilt. What a cute idea. I have always quilting small items like this on my regular machine.

    Thanks! I took your advice and it is on the machine ready to go. I cut the backing long enough for the top and bottom rail. Any idea on what I can do in the borders?

Then you do have to pin to your other rails. Hopefully your leader for the top is long enough. Then just pin the top to the backing and batting and baste or sew right near the top edge of your quilt top to hold it.
    Hope this works.

    I like your idea of diagonal lines. They appear more geometric - different from the rounded edges of meandering or stipple.
