Remember this? I think I’m finally ready to quilt it. I debated for a long time about adding borders, but in the end, I decided to leave it as is. I don’t think the fabric in the blocks was prewashed and I’m concerned about uneven shrinking.

Now, how to quilt it! I played around with an app called Doodle to get some ideas. My first thought was an all over random grid.

Maybe swirls.

Maybe a grid that doesn’t go over the daisies.

Hmmmm…..maybe the straight lines?
Actually, I rather like the combination of swirls and grids.

I’ll have to think about that. But then, what about the daisies themselves?


Lots to think about here.
Have a great day!

I think I like a combination of swirls and grids, too. It will add a little punch to the vintage feel and make it really interesting.
I’ve been watching to see what you do – I have a quilt almost exactly like this and it needs quilting too!
Lovely colors, composition and overall design. What is your overall feeling about using the Doodle app? I have tried it, but still tend to print out copies of the blocks/top to doodle on with a pencil. Thanks for sharing!
It will be fun to see what you decide on. I think you have some good ideas brewing. Thanks for the tip on the app. It’s very handy for drawing out those quilting ideas!
Oh goodie-time for 1 of my favorites! Love this 1-I like the combo of swirls/grid work. Have fun with this! Susan
I always have the same problem when the big decision comes. I usually make the ‘final’ decision about four times.
