Too much busy fabric? (Part three)

I love my fabric choice but I don’t have any idea of how to quilt the quilt!

Embrace the busy designs and take advantage of them! Remember that they are there for a very strong reason: you chose them!

“Should I use a neutral thread or coordinate all the different shades?”

Not necessarily.

If your idea is really highlighting your quilting you don’t want neutral threads, you don’t want to coordinate exactly the thread shades, actually you can even go with metallic, variegated or even decorative threads.

So, time to get to work! Let’s start with our third design!

I know that your next question is: “do you have a video?”

The answer is no and YES! I made this quilt in 2017, and at that time I didn’t have the habit of recording all my quilting adventures, BUT I did a simulation with my IpadPro and Procreate of how I would approach this quilting design on my machine, just click the video below ;)
