the quilt looks great. I don’t know what I would do. I have been thinking about it since I looked here yesterday. I know you will make a perfect choice.

Karen, I also like the idea of the vine trailing around your large quilt. It will draw you eye around the entire quilt nicely. However you are on your own with the rest of the design as either 4 or 9 patches or circles or a combination will all work well; it’s just preference and since it is your quilt, it will be up to you, obviously. A couple of questions though: 1) Do you know how you are going to quilt it, design-wise that is? 2) Will you hand quilt it and if so does that make a big difference with the chosen design since it is harder to hand quilt through seams and you have a lot of them on this quilt? 3) What are you still doing with a baby quilt unless you have a secret you have not revealed yet? hehehe Perhaps you can address the two serious questions in your blog for all of us to read. Thanks!

I always think your ideas are great – I too like the border with the squares in the corner and the vines with circles to pull it all together – beautiful quilt!

thanks everyone. I have given it more thought last night and I’m going to look at it more today and get it figured out.

Hi Karen
Another wonderfull quilt top! I think it would look great if the border would have the squares in the corners then the vine and some circles.

I can’t believe how fast you got the circles quilt together! I think a vine in the border with circle would be great. I love the baby quilt too.

I love the vine idea Karen (that baby quilt is beautiful btw). 9 patches as shown and then circles scattered in the curve of the vine.

Yes a vine might be nice with small squares and circles as the flowers?
You’ll figure it out in the wee hours of the morning, that’s what I do.

I think the vine is a good idea, but why not 4 patches (or 16 patches)to carry on the theme from the center, and because I like randomness, I would have random circles appliqued out there too. I think possibly you like things more orderly and balanced than I do.
