This is the project that I’m working on today. I’m starting to quilt this wall hanging. Mostly it will be stitch in the ditch … but I might change my mind and do something else as well.

That’s pretty Gail. What if you did fmq inside the houses? You could do something that looks like bricks? I’m sure I’ve seen a Leah Day tutorial on something like that. And a soft meander in the negative space may suggest clouds.

Hi Terry,
Thanks, cuz! I have the houses quilted as they directed … they are smallish, so I think bricks will be a bit much – but an excellent idea for larger houses. I love the idea of meander / clouds in the white – perfect … I’ll be doing that! Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂

Your house blocks look very good in blue and white/cream. I usually change my quilting design as I go too. I can see better what it needs after stitches are taken.

Knitnkwilt (sorry, I don’t know your actual name) … thank you! The wall hanging is a kit – so I didn’t pick out any of the fabrics. But blue is my favourite colour, so my husband knew I’d like it! I have the houses quilted and my cousin suggested that I do a cloud meander in the white, negative space – so I think I will go with that. Happy quilting! 🙂

For many projects, quilting in the ditch is just the right thing.

Yes, Kathleen – you are so correct! Usually I prefer free motion because it get’s done faster! But this called for in the ditch! Happy quilting!
