hi!
this is a picnic blanket for a family that we see every year at the same music festival, made out of their t-shirts. sorryfor the poor quality of the photo. maybe in the daylight i'll try to get a better image....
how would you quilt it? what colour thread would you use?
i am genuinely stumped!
thanks for your help!

Depends on your batting. I would SITD in your sashing first. Then try to outline in and around the design in the t-shirt then if there is too much background, I would use one of the background stencils like crosshatching to fill in the larger spaces. These quilts are very heavy so you want to make sure that the three layers of the quilt are secured.

If I had a long arm I would find a pantograph of music notes. If working on my sewing machine, I would SITD the sashing and quilt each block individually trying to avoid quilting over the printing.
