Even though it was a simple quilting, it was rather labor intensive due to the density of the quilting. Thus said, it hangs very nice on my dining room table.
I LOVE Buggy Barn patterns. Especially in bright or batik colors.
Now to load the next one… Can you tell I’m on a roll?? Hugs, Carla
Next up on my machine quilting table is a lovely Buggy Barn pattern quilt by a friend, Virginia:

I love the whimsical feel of Buggy Barn patterns, so this will be a happy quilt to work on.
Next step is to pick the thread and also the quilting pattern. I promise to show you what I’m thinking, quilting design wise, but I first need to draw and email them to Virginia so she can have some input with her quilt. Keep watching! Hugs, Carla
PS: Ok, here’s the proposed quilting design options for this quilt- as indicated by the black lines:
Be sure to notice the numbers…any guess as to which number or elements she will chose?
Thread: I’m thinking I might go with either a lighter shade of thread for the light areas and a darker red for the dark parts. This will maintain the values and contrast in this quilt and just give it some lovely texture.
