Quilting Ideas for a scrap quilt
I have a baby quilt (45x60), yes, I make them big to fit in the cribs and then on toddler beds. Anyway, it is just squares sewn together. I think they are 4" squares. I need to have it quilted by Thursday, and probably won't get started on quilting it until tomorrow. I have it sandwiched all together. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Can you trace and enlarge one of the motifs in the fabric for a quilt design? If not, how about quilting yellow ducky outlines in the squares? Stars or hearts are a cute quilt patterns for baby quilts too.

Have you ever thought of using a double needle and then crosshatching? Another idea would be to lengthen the 3 point zigzag stitch so that you get a narrow serpentine stitch and crosshatch with that.

A double needle and cross hatching will leave the back of the quilt looking kinda sloppy, I'd think.
Maybe do a large meander or other overall design for the quilting. I find I don't like doing SID that much.

I think it all depends on my how time you want to devote to it and how experienced you are and what you want to do. I stitched by the ditch on several of these which are 4" scrappy squares. I really liked how they turned out.[ATTACH=CONFIG]381142[/ATTACH]
