That is beautiful. As for the quilting, I would say to keep it simple as the pattern itself is quite busy. Something curvy, like a simple daisy-type motif in each block would be good, or a loopy all over meander?
It looks amazing Hazel! I agree simple quilting will be the best, do a couple of practice sandwiches and then just go for it. It's the only way to improve your quilting. I like to use the Golden Threads quilting paper so I have a pattern to follow, but if you can get the hang of free machine quilting without a guide, it's very liberating. I've got a couple of videos you could borrow, but YouTube is also a great place to find inspiration. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteI've taken your comments to heart, girls, and come up with a flower template for the centre of each block.
ReplyDeleteBetter go and have a look on YouTube to make sure I've got the right idea before blundering on!
