I just can't think of how to quilt this flannel, warm and cozy, lap quilt that I'm making for myself. I already stitched in the ditch along the outer edge of the thin border, but I just can't figure out what to do in the blocks, or overall. I'm at a loss. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Carol

What a great quilt! Makes me want to snuggle up in it. Sorry, I don't have any suggestions for quilting, just had to tell you that I love the quilt!! I tend to prefer SID, and I know that is not what most folks prefer. You have probably already done all the SID you want to. ![Smile](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png)

Great, cozy top! It all depends on what look you want. If you want the fabric design to shine I would do a simple meander in a neutral thread. If you want to add texture, you might do a different Leah Day design in each block just to have fun.

I like very loose quilting on my flannel quilts to keep them soft and cuddly, usually a large stipple or simple cross hatch. I also like the idea of a fan design with widely spaced arcs. Love your fabric!

Just a thought but what about echoing some of the print like the fence, some of the trees and maybe even the buildings. I did that with the whole cloth quilt for my GS that had some rather large shapes. It seemed to make the pattern stand out better.
