    Post Quilting design

    I started working on the quilting design, something I can do at my computer and still be "working" on a quilt. Pretty sure this is what I will do in the arcs and maybe just curved lines or a stipple outside of them. I think stipple inside the quilted heart and outside the applique heart, like a mirror image, and cross hatching through the white areas of the pieced blocks.

    I hope this isn't way beyond my longarm quilting ability, my lines aren't very stable and smooth.

    I have been admiring your avatar from the moment that I saw it. I love it! Having said that and you may not want to hear this but I think the little hearts in the border really pull it together. Pleeeeease humor me and post a pic with some of the small hearts dropped on the border. Thanks
