Quilt a OBW??
1 Attachment(s)
I'm a fairly new quilter and just finished my first One Block Wonder. I love it, but I'm not sure how to quilt it. I don't know what I'll end up doing with it. Probably either hang it over the railing in our summer cabin or use it as a lap quilt. Since I'm a new quilter, I'm a little concerned that the seams may not be that sturdy, so I think it needs to be quilted somehow. I think the quilting will be more utilitarian than aesthetic. What do you suggest?

I have quilted them in all the ditches. It makes a nice design on the back and doesn't detract from the design on the front. Your OBW is gorgeous.

You have a beautiful OBW!
What about stippling it all? or an all over meander design? Here's a link to my OBW ... it;s done with an all over feather sort of a design ... http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...i-t141548.html ... |

Gorgeous OBW :)
I have done one with a stitch in the ditch and I did this one with what I call is my spicky stipple, by putting the points in the stipple it give me somewhere to stop and think about which direction to go to next [ATTACH=CONFIG]366394[/ATTACH] |

Those are both so beautiful. The variety in the block coloration is just fascinating to me. Thanks for sharing.

Nuevaquilter, I would love to see the original fabric if you still have some. |
all of the ideas are great. my thought is that the quilting should not take away from the beauty of your quilt top... so keeping it simpler is better. i love woody's quilting.
