I just comleted the applique stage andbtge piecing of Fresh Picked Posies. Now it’s time to quilt it. I plan to out line allmthe applique. What kind of quilting was done in the background? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi Gary: My quilt has an all-over pattern that is sort of abstract. The background fabric is busy enough that the quilting pattern is hard to see. If your quilt is the same, that gives you more freedom to pick a quilting pattern. Place some clear vinyl over the quilt top and try doodling until you find a design that you like.
And don’t forget to quilt inside the applique as well. The shapes are too large to ignore.
Hope this helps,
Becky

Thank you for the great suggestions. My background is very similar to yours. Love the idea about using the clear vinyl. I think I am going to do an all over plume design.
Thanks again.
