    I'm finishing one of my UFO's for a church auction. Don't want to put a lot of time into machine quilting, but I do want it to look nice and bring in lots of money. Any suggestions?

    Finished top, but needs quilting...suggestions?

    The photo shows just one quarter of it folded. It's an Eleanor Burns Lover's Knot pattern I did a few years ago.

    I really love the quilt and it's colors. No help in quilt design. Good Job.

    Due to the geometric pattern of the quilt, I would use a design that has swirls, circles, or curves.
