Need help with quilting pattern
#1
I just finished wall hanging, I've got to put the inner & outter borders. And I'm not sure how to quilt it. I've thought just a simple large checkerboard pattern would be good. I don't want to lose the pattern by using a busy quilting pattern...so HELP!
Thanks!
Kind Regards,
MaryAnna

Thanks EllaBud,
Do you think I should do the cross, and outline the yellow around? Or each individual peice? It's a log cabin quilt, so that's a lot of 'stitch n ditchin'.

Yes, the yellow would look good with a diamond pattern.....I do like the diamond pattern.
I'll check on the batting, I'm sure it will be thin as this is a wallhanging quilt.

My first log cabin wall hanging was only 4 large blocks. It looks like a stained glass window. I stitched 1/4 inch inside of the seam and do not like that. Stitch in the ditch would look better in my opinion. I love the blue and yellow you have chosen. I have fabric too for a blue and yellow one to be done someday. Wish me luck.
