    Default Dimensions - how would you quilt this?

    Hi Everyone - I made the dimensions quilt designed by Ginny Beyer. How would you quilt this? I have a domestic machine. Thanks!!!

    Gee, I should have put a piece of fabric behind the quilt because with the back-lighting, you can see every seam!!!

    WOW this is awesome. The first thing that came to mind when I saw this was Definitely feathers in the outer border and maybe alternating in the blocks (by color sections) the back and forth lines (not sure how to describe it) but Charisma here on the board uses that and it looks awesome. Go look at some of her quilts. This is just beautiful! fabulous job.

    beautiful quilt. do you use stencils? There are some cool stencils with meandering but hearts or dragonflies thrown in. I think that might look cool.

    Wow! I love Ginny Beyer's patterns but am waaaaay too "a'scared" (as my kids used to say) to try them. Yours is GORGEOUS!!! I think (if it were me), I'd go pretty plain on the body (let those beautiful blocks & fabrics shine) & then go fancier in the borders. I liked the dragonfly suggestion. But you can never go wrong with feathers. What-ever you go with, PLEASE post again after this treasure is done!

    maybe meandering on the larger blocks and vertical lines on the vertical parts of the small cubes with horizontal lines on the tops.
