That is a great pattern! As far as quilting goes, I'd just free motion meander it b/c it's easy and always looks nice. But I also know you aren't comfortable with that yet, so any straight line quilting going along with the quilt design would look nice. Good luck with whatever you decide, I'm sure it will look great!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11724260152507872234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-69904687104808804932011-03-30T20:09:28.501-07:002011-03-30T20:09:28.501-07:00I love it!

I machine quilted mine with a spiral in each bead and then outlines around the outside of each one. Personally, that little bit of bead wouldn't bother me in the slightest and I'd save the lovely green for something else. But then, I'm sort of lazy!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368655338665362173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-36910433962393356202011-03-30T18:22:19.341-07:002011-03-30T18:22:19.341-07:00I love your Pop Beads!

I came very late to the FMF party, so I just have a couple of scraps, which are fun little treasures.<br /><br />1. I would probably leave that turquoise freckles in the corner since it's already pieced and such a small piece, and save the lovely green leaves for something else.<br />2. I like your idea for quilting this which would really make the fun shapes pop out.<br />3. No, never thought about the birth-order thing.<br /><br />Happy to see all your productivity in the sewing room these days!Terriawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420615575308397326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-3130985670913604982011-03-30T09:31:42.629-07:002011-03-30T09:31:42.629-07:00So fantastic!

Replace it or not...just make sure it's exactly what you want. :)<br /><br />Your quilting idea sounds great! If I were machine quilting it, I'd probably do diagonals like felicity suggested. Or meander since that's my favorite and makes the quilt really, really crinkly (which I love!)Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246323377929476660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-58137223275810252282011-03-30T09:24:44.266-07:002011-03-30T09:24:44.266-07:00Beautiful!

I will say that the hand of the fabric, with its slight sheen, is gorgeous!<br /><br />Now, onto your dilemmas. 1. if all other fabrics in the quilt are FMF, I would replace that one bit. 2. I like your quilting idea (to be done by hand?) - another option for machine stitching would be diagonals going through the top, bottom and middle of each bead.<br /><br />GORGEOUS quilt top, by the way!felicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18175463051620709590noreply@blogger.com
