quilting ideas for English Paper pieced & applique quilt
I don't have suggestions on quilting but just wanted to say that it is

The quilt has a Grandmother's flower garden, a fan, a fern and a fish, so it's not typical English paper piecing throughout. Thanks.

As the border is a 'busy' pattern, you could just 1" square grid it, say, on the diagonal. It's lovely. Bronnie |

love the leaf in particular.
leaves are my favourite shape of all time. no idea why that is, just is. could be the variety of both shape and colour in the leaf world. also very fond of hexagons at the moment. nice work indeed. is the leaf your own pattern? only people who are logged into facebook would probly be able to see it. tho i could be wrong on that. j.

I think I'll hand quilt it.

Yes, I designed the leaf. The fish is a combination of several fish designs

quilting ideas for English Paper pieced & applique quilt
I agree with Bronnie. As soon as I saw how it was arranged, I thought
echo quilt the appliqué, with gentle swirls over the background. As you are hand quilting it, a diagonal grid would be good, too. (machine quilting a diagonal grid would be a royal pain!! with all the stopping and starting - that's why I thought swirls). The quilting on the background won't show up very much on that lovely fabric, so simple is good. .. In message , Lobo writes OK ... here's a photo. This is supposed to be a public link ...

quilting ideas for English Paper pieced & applique quilt
I like the idea of sort of echo quilting the fern and the fish, but I think
the other 2 would be too static. I'm also thinking I would do the echo quilting sort of abstractly, loose and floaty, rather than precise echoing. That still leaves me puzzled about how to do the fan and flower. I also lean towards something flowing because I don't want to mark the background. It's a very light color and I don't want to risk the markings not coming out. This is for a club challenge or I wouldn't be so picky. Thanks. ....

quilting ideas for English Paper pieced & applique quilt
I agree with you on that Lobo. G As for the flower.... one of the
traditional ways to quilt it would be a quarter inch inside each seam line. So you would have smaller hexes "echoed" inside the piece. The fan could be done similarly, perhaps emphasizing some of the parts only. A bit of echo quilting around them would also be possible. Lovely quilt and good luck in the challenge.

I'm trying to stay away from the traditional as that is the expected thing,
and I always like to do the unexpected whenever possible! I can imagine doing curvy lines outward from the center of the flower, but still am stymied by the fan.
