Remember the ones you might have doodled in grade school?The quilt maker was a smart one as off seting the blocks, there wasn't challenges with matching seams and it makes the quilt more interesting. What a happy quilt!

Lorchen OFFLINE Posts: 2639 Thank you received: 50	I'd go for a simple all-over quilt design. It's a very cheerful, scrappy top and I would love to have and use it. I'm a great fan of what I call 'Happy Quilts'.

Scoopie OFFLINE Posts: 1149 Thank you received: 160	Hard to advise without seeing it, but it sounds like it would greatly benefit by having an all over design. Stitch in the ditch can be done by going around each square seperately, one at a time, being sure to keep the stitches IN the ditch. Oh, thanks for posting a picture! What a wonderful scrapy quilt! Definitely an all over design! Dawn In beautiful Northern Montana

I was given a quilt top that has about 5 inch squares with four triangles in each square and put together to make an 82 x 76 top problem the person who put it together oft set the strips so there is no straight quilting line, like for stitching in the ditch ,the fabric is old scraps from 70's and 80's, good condition, but my question is should I stitch in the ditch and have non continuous lines or consider an all over stencil that does not accent the squares since it is oft alignment.
