    Default How would you quilt this Fairy Frost quilt top for my soon to arrive granddaughter?

    So below are the fairy blocks I embroidered with the stencil I planned on using on the fairy frost blocks. Well my daughter was here and says that flowers on the colored blocks would be too much. I tend to agree now that I think about it. My question is this. Should I STD in the fairy blocks as well as the colored blocks or only in the fairy blocks but echo in the colored? I need your opinions please?

    I am using lilac Minky for backing and Fairy frost in Grape for the binding.

    Thank you for the help.

    SITD all seams then echo the coloured ones?
    If you have some fabric left you could make a trial 4 patch (without the embroidery of course) and see if the echo is too much - you could even use the flower stencil and same coloured thread to confirm it IS too much - I rather like it.

    I would quilt the flower into the colored fabric. But the idea is good to try it on a test and have a look how it will come out.
