I am considering doing the same thing with a B&W Bargello. I am also considering yellow and red thread for the quilting.<br /><br />For this quilt, I would quilt opposite of the strips (so if those strips pictured are horizontal, I would quilt vertical). I would use a straight line quilting, but every 8 - 10 inches, stick in a loop. I would do this randomly, with some loops above the line and some below. It will be quick, simple and the loops will add a little more POP than just straight lines.<br /><br />Paul<br />www.OutnumberedQuilter.comPaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624140507953560723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486908926104923.post-82692930264714128662011-08-03T15:01:46.028-07:002011-08-03T15:01:46.028-07:00Yes, my son the optometrist would definitely agree...Yes, my son the optometrist would definitely agree with the black, white and red color comb for babies.

I use masking tape, and here's how I do it: lay the quilt out on a table or the floor. Take a long piece of tape and randomly place it down on the quilt. Try to keep the take straight-ish, but a little curve isn't noticeable. Then quilt using the tape as a guide-the easiest way to do this is to use the tape as a guide next to your pressed foot. Also, you can get double the quilting out of 1 taping if you sew on either side of the tape! After you've quilted your 1 or 2 lines, peel the tape up and lay it down in a new position. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but I've found that it takes fewer quilting lines than you'd think, and since it's not too densely quilted, it is super cuddly after a washing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026306612881676022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486908926104923.post-69939852817001248992011-07-31T10:47:03.330-07:002011-07-31T10:47:03.330-07:00I was thinking stippling until you said red thread...I was thinking stippling until you said red thread!
