    Any way you quilt it will surely add to it. Sure wish I was the one receiving it. Lucky Secret Pal.

    This is so beatiful! I am always amazed at the wonderful color combinations I see in the quilts on this board. I always thought I had a fairly good eye for color -- until I started quilting. Sometimes things come together, but mostly I struggle with what fabrics to use. I really like this quilt -- it's got the colors of Christmas but it doesn't "scream" the holidays. It'll be wonderful all year long. I am really envious!! REALLY nice work!

    Thanks for the compliment....I have always worked with color in my paintings...but this quilting is completly different, but lots more fun.

    The solid centers are screaming for a recognizable shape like a star or a fan (I think a fan would go with the girly/flowery color choices well and make it more victorian looking). I saw where a lady had hand quilted circles over her pinwheels and it gave them a nice sense of movement. I think a simple scallop around the edges would also give it flair without being as hard as the feather motif. Everything else would just be in the ditch so as not to take away from the softness created with the other ideas. I love cross-hatching but it would be too sharp with the other curves. Just my two cents! Good luck and let us know what you decide.

    lucky pal! hand quilt in fairly apart circles using plates--charger/ salad/side/mug shouldn't then upset the quilt pattern.
    OR merely tie.
