quilting redwork
I am trying to decide how to quilt some redwork blocks. They are 13 inches square, with a redwork chrysanthemum in the middle of each block. The flowers are around 6 or 7 inches around. I am going to machine quilt this. If I leave the flower unquilted it will look funny. Should I quilt a grid right through the flower? I've googled redwork quilts and haven't found much info except to do grid quilting. KathyTags: None

My dilemma is: the Chrysanthemum flower is big, with lots of loopy petals. There's nothing to outline, except the outer edge of the flower. I don't really like the way the lines for the cross hatching would cross through the flower ( I drew the lines on one block with a washout pen). Maybe I could treat it as an applique- outline the outer edges, and then quilt a few lines in the interior of the flower???
Thanks for the quick answers, I appreciate it.

These blocks were part of a block exchange at our guild from 8 years ago. My mom won the five blocks. 4 are in autumn colors and 1 is blue! I put the 4 into a 4 block layout on the front, the blue one is on the back.
This is probably the reason I didn't do anything with these blocks before

The professional longarmers on mqresource.com generally recommend quilting right over the embroidery. We always feel like it will interfere with the stitchery, but it doesn't if stitched in a thin, matching thread and avoids the ugly puff of the unquilted area. I don't have any personal experience with this, just passing on what I've read again and again.
