I have basted and begun machine quilting M's Quilt. I stitched in the ditch around the pinwheels in a dark purple. I am not crazy about how it looks on the back of the quilt and wish I would have used white in the bobbin but it's done and I don't think it looks bad enough to rip out so it stays. I have stitched around all pinwheels but one. That one lines up with the appliqué on the pieced back. I will probably stitch around the appliqué on the back so that my stitching from the front does not obscure my lovely appliqué on the back.
My plan was to stitch a vine like pattern on the green nine-patch blocks in a similar green color. I couldn't figure out how to make it work considering my limited quilting experience so the *new* plan is to stitch around the center green block of the nine-patch and a second larger square around the center square approximately 1 inch from the first stitch.
Lastly, I think I am going to stitch a large zigzag in the border, but I have been known to change my mind :) I very much wish I had more machine quilting experience because I'd like this quilt to be perfect for my little girl.
Stay tuned for the finished project at the end of the month.
