Look at it hanging on a wall, lying on a bed, consider your batting, the user, the use of the quilt, and then make your decision. ... My plan was to use this as wall hanging and I have Warm and Natural as batting. I am concerned that since the Hubby talked me into making it the size it was supposed to be :roll: (I was going to make it a 3x3 square) more quilting in the center of the stars may be better to help stabilize the quilt. You all have done far more quilting than I and I am happy for any direction. I think I will add small diagonals connecting the base of the points inside the centers. Thanks for all you suggestions. |
Great quilt!! I'd ask you what you want to do? However you decide, it will look fabo! Skeat

that must be why the plaids i have always end up waaaaaaay at the bottom and back of my stash drawers. don't feel sorry for them, though. they have the striped stuff to keep them company on those long, cold, winter nights. :lol: |

In any case, a wallhanging does not need to be quilted as closely as a bed cover. p.s. I love your quilt! |
Your quilt is gorgeous!!

No advice, but you've done a great job so far, so I'm sure the quilting will be also.
