sdmahoney, Here is my Plan B ideas. From the simplest to more detailed. First stitch in the ditch in all seam lines to stabilized the quilt befor more quilting.
1. Take a 1 inch strip of painters tape or cut from a roll of freezer paper a long 1 inch strip, centered in the colored areas and just do the two lines of quilting on
both sides of the tape. Easy peasy.
2. Cut freezer paper squares the size of the happy dance squares. Position them on the painter tape and make the quilt image look like a mirror of the actual
piecing. That would look great.
3. Adding some creative geometric shapes along the painters tape to have circles, triangles, hexagons etc. You could mix them up or just make each line a specific shape.
4. Do Libby Leman type thread play inside the painter tape line and geometric shapes. I put a photo of some Libby Leman type stitching I did so you could see what it looks like.
Would love to know how you decide to quilt it.
