More Plaid

 

After stitching the finished blocks together and pin-basting the quilt, I had to come up with a quilting plan.

I began by stitching in the ditch around all the star shapes.

Then I decided to quilt a spiral in the centre of the beige stars, with figure eight style loops extending into each point.  

I used a thread colour that matched the contrast in the plaid, matching the bobbin to the top thread.

As the backing of this quilt is large pieces of assorted plaids, I thought that the different thread colours would add another design element to the finished quilt.

In this type of quilt, I repeat the design in all matching parts.

BTW, I am quilting this on my Juki, by hand-guiding the quilt, without the use of a frame.
