Great Quilt but how do I quilt it?
I love my newly finished applique quilt, but I am having a problem trying to quilt it. I want the quilting to enhance the design. My first thought is a center grid and straight lines on the border, but that sounds boring and it deserves more than that. I also do not want to only do shadow quilting. Maybe a combination of things? Any ideas would be helpful.Tags: None

My imediate thought is this. Don't try to out do the applique with the quilting. The applique is the star here not the quilting. The quilting is to enhance, it's not to be the show. Relax! The most important work has already been done. Love. Love. Love, the quilt and your work. Don't try to out do yourself. It would defeat the purpose. It's already done. Just enhance. Don't out do! Great work. Thanks so much for sharing.

I guess what you mean by shadow quilting is echoing? I'd outline the applique so it pops. It's the star, after all. I like the grid idea in the center, but honestly, I would echo the quilting in the border. Your quilt is so beautiful as is. Use a matching thread for texture, and voila! It will be finished.

It's absolutely gorgeous and your applique looks perfect.
Why not outline the shapes as already said and do a small leaf pattern in matching thread so it doesn't compete with the applique (I agree with Lois) but you can enjoy while you gaze at it. (This from someone who knows nothing about quilting)

My goodness! What a beautiful quilt top. It IS a challenge isn't it? I would closely outline the appliques, and do some echoing, then something simple, but elegant like diagonal grids in some places and close simple stippling in others, thereby highlighting the appliques. (I'm thinking Diane Gaudynski's Quilt Savvy guidebook http://www.amazon.com/Guide-To-Machi.../dp/1574327968 I have found extremely helpful in my poor quilting efforts). I love your quilt.

I remember when you posted pictures of this quilt as you were doing it. It turned out beautifully. I'm no expert at giving advice so I won't but when I look at this quilt top, I don't want to be distracted by too much quilting because the applique' work is so gorgeous to look at. Congratulations on finishing it.

Karen, your quilt is so beautiful and I know that I would feel the same way as you do right now. If you are going to do it by hand then definitely outlining all the applique is the first step and that's what I would do. Beyond that I haven't got a clue. If you are doing it by machine then outlining all the applique is still a good idea after which even micro stippling would make the applique pop even more. But what would I know? Good luck.

I saw this blog and thought of you. If you scroll down and look at the quilting it shows how if you use self colour quilting and any or lots of patterns it doesn't detract from the wonderful applique. What do you think.
Oh to be able to quilt to that standard 8)
