I have always had a thing for the classics(I like vintage, antiques, old) and a red, white & blue quilt has been on my list of wants. I am just not sure...I like this quilt. It is very busy. It is somewhat outside my box. But then, just what does the inside my box look like??? I am trying to "experiment" in my quilting journey and try a variety of styles and techniques. I guess this quilt would be considered traditional and I am thinking maybe... I am more contemporary(easier patterns!) but...then I would like to think I like a little bit of everything. After all "variety is the spice of life" right? NO the quilt,is not done, it needs borders(inside border is red/white stripe and outer boarder is a light cream with flower spray, there is already a taupe, navy and blue spray version of this fabric used in the center) but I find myself asking... what was I thinking, do I like this, will the borders help to calm the quilt, should I invest in custom quilting or will it just make it all too busy???? I want something to compliment the quilt. Does anyone have any suggestions or opinions?
I love it! It is busy but not in a chaotic way. I don't know about the quilting..I think it could be really nice it just depends on the pattern.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous. There's enough of the light background to stop it being too busy. You can see all the stars plainly enough. I think a nice overall quilting design in a neutral thread should work really well on it

It's a beautiful quilt! Love the colors but it is just busy enough where an edge 2 edge would look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is lively, not too busy and I think very pleasing. I would encourage you to have it quilted right away. You may have a better appreciation for it after you see how beautifully the quilting pulls the quilt together. As Mary suggested, an E2E design would work nicely. The binding should frame it nicely. Don't second guess yourself, this is a great quilt, just go for it! :-D
