I did a quilt with a similar pattern this summer and found it worked really well to echo the on point squares... which I guess is pretty much what Ade said! I think I would use a neutral thread... less stress about what the back looks like where you've had puckering issues. There's my 2 cents.Jenn @ A Quarter Inch from the Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657846734631422153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1241356334303722714.post-21821551584479057882013-10-23T23:25:23.319-03:002013-10-23T23:25:23.319-03:00Sorry your basting did not go well the first time....Sorry your basting did not go well the first time. Yes, late nights are not as productive as we think. This we see much more clearly in the light of day. Can't help you with the quilting. Simple quilting is my specialty! I like Katherine's idea though!Lorna McMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01911462547010295684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1241356334303722714.post-48260897744841393962013-10-23T17:43:20.479-03:002013-10-23T17:43:20.479-03:00Looks gorgeous, Dominique!

Gah, I hate puckers when basting, good thing you caught them before quilting. :o)<br /><br />I have an idea for a simple quilting pattern you could try. It looks more complicated than it is, but will look good from both sides of your quilt and best yet, no need to mark your quilt top to do it! Here's the link to a quilt I did the design I'm thinking you could use:<br />http://sewmesomethinggood.blogspot.ca/2013/05/fridays-finish-pop-star-quilt.html<br />If you use each square as your guide, you simply FMQ a curve from corner to corner. It works out that you will be stitching a wavy line from one end of each row of blocks to the other. Then you repeat for the other direction once you get the first set done. Clear as mud??? lol... I can give detailed directions if needed. Let me know.<br />Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01576487047505755889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1241356334303722714.post-10562113208498906472013-10-21T21:32:34.416-03:002013-10-21T21:32:34.416-03:00I like the idea of doing different patterns in the...I like the idea of doing different patterns in the ivory/neutral and blue/green sections. The diamond pattern really pops from a distance and it would really highlight that.Sherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06355969043412582588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1241356334303722714.post-47845619801243883572013-10-21T21:11:13.679-03:002013-10-21T21:11:13.679-03:00What I can say is that I am no quilting expert, bu...What I can say is that I am no quilting expert, but it may be cool to echo the diamond pattern by doing some quilting in the "Ivory/neutral" parts of the quilt so that the colors pop out. Does that make sense?Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567763046304613055noreply@blogger.com
