There were a lot of scrap fabrics used in this quilt, so detailed quilting would have competed with, or overpowered, those fabrics. I opted for a simple ‘cathedral windows‘ design instead (just in the small squares, not the larger ones, which I left unquilted).
I left the first border unquilted too, and did a large stipple in the outer border.

Threads used:
- Top: Robison-Anton ‘Taupe’ (40 wt rayon, colour 2298)
- Bottom: Fil-Tec Magna Glide Classic pre-wound bobbin (light tan)
I love your quilting and the quilt is so “old time-y” cozy!!!!!
Cathedral Windows – what a good idea. Like it.
Wow – that’s a really nice quilt. The subtle colors allow not just secondary, but 4 or so design patterns to pop out.
