My husband informed me that the quilt that I thought I had another 3 weeks to complete needs to be done and presented on Wednesday. I have no idea how to quilt this! Maybe a diagonal grid? Is that too plain? Would that even be ok for the borders?
I'm not that good at FMQ so I'm looking for some simple suggestions that would be quick and easy but still look nice. I am using the 80/20 from Walmart (Fairfield, I think) and it needs to be quilted at 2"-4". Basically, I have 1/2 of tomorrow and 1/2 of Sunday to do the quilting. Then I would like to bind and wash on Monday so that I have all day Tuesday to fix any issues or problems.
Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions.
It is for a boy.

go for the simple, diagonal quilting. and remember, done is better than perfect! it will look fine and only you will know what else you might have done. A baby quilt will be used and loved regardless of diagonal quilting or extremely complex quilting.
