Date: 7/29/12 7:59 PM I recently finished this quilt top for the spare bed in my husbands home office. I'm ready to drop it off with my friend who will be long arm quilting it for me. She can do free-motion or pantograph. I'm really stuck on what I want. Have you seen any log cabins with spectacular quilting? I'm thinking it could be geometric in nature, but I'm just not sure what I want. Any ideas appreciated.

I have seen a lot of quilts that are incorporating some embroidery with quilting. They are gorgeous. Don't know if this design would lend itself to that combo or not?

I agree with a leave design or maybe one with hearts since the leaves are shaped similar. ------ ~Diana~ ♥ Bernina 830E ♥ Bernina 1150MDA serger ✝The Lord is my Light and my Salvation: whom shall I fear?

I'm not very familiar with machine quilting, I'm a hand quilter. Can you have quilting done that follows the design and accentuates the pattern and line of the quilt? I have seen quilts were the quilting was so tight and close together that the quilt became rigid and was very uncomfortable to lie under. A minimal design might be good. Hope this helps, good luck!

I love the dark teal leaf fabric--I went back and bought the end of the bolt and I would have purchased more if there had been any more available. The back is a dark blue and green mottled. I'll see if I can get a photo tonight. I want this quilt to be soft/cozy on the bed, so I think larger quilting designs will be best. ------ Berninas 830LE ♥ Artista 630PQE ♥ 930 Record ♥ Juki TL2010Q ♥ Pfaffs Creative Performance ♥ Passport 2.0 ♥ Singers 221 ♥ 301 ♥ 500a ♥ Kenmore 1040 ♥ Elna 'Grasshopper' ♥ Tacsew T500 ♥ Babylock Evolution
