I know that I scrutinized the embroidered "pictures" over and over again; it's all indelibly seared onto the back of my brain. I have no idea who might have made it for me, or if it was made for my older sister and passed along to the next baby's room. So cool to see that you're finishing this for your nephew's new baby! And I think the loopy quilting you "settled" on is perfect.Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05891097077543213720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3646568540211715158.post-68231975638469309012023-02-10T01:36:12.613-05:002023-02-10T01:36:12.613-05:00Maybe a little hand quilting that echoes the oval ...Maybe a little hand quilting that echoes the oval shape? I wouldn't do too much of whatever you do, but the cross hatching would be nice, too.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3646568540211715158.post-56922179998094769572023-02-09T16:23:04.035-05:002023-02-09T16:23:04.035-05:00I love cross hatching and that could go through th...I love cross hatching and that could go through the center or not. I also think little french nots in a matching thread to the background could be a fun way to quilt the center. It will be lovely when you are done with it!

Bonnie Hunter on her blog today has an embroidery project that turned out really sweet with a simple border on it. Simple stippling around the embroidery might not be too difficult but I think cross hatching would probably be the safest idea.Sewgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04849982433240155287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3646568540211715158.post-85789984757138831632023-02-09T09:48:48.572-05:002023-02-09T09:48:48.572-05:00I would use your walking foot and continue the ova...I would use your walking foot and continue the oval theme. Once around the words. Once around the angel surround. Do a straight line 1/4" inside your applied border, and outside your applied border. Then finish it off with your binding :-) A 1 1/2" finished width border with the binding applied should lie nice and flat!Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918153566288679035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3646568540211715158.post-69106879243353034432023-02-09T08:33:26.679-05:002023-02-09T08:33:26.679-05:00I would just go for the light hand tacking myself....I would just go for the light hand tacking myself. Tack over the little plus signs in the center and then mimic those in the outer 4 corners. Beth in TNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043473288033799847noreply@blogger.com
