I received a quilt to do even though this quilter does most
of her own free motion on her domestic machine.
She then told me she prefers plain and would have opted for meandering
the background and SID on the circles.
My question to her was why she’d pay someone to do something
she can do herself? I suggested making
just subtle changes in the design which would have a similar effect as what she
planned.
For the background I used loops which to me is the same as
meandering – just another shape, it also fills the back. I repeated these loops
on the wide outer border as well.
For the inner circle, I used a continuous line also
just popping in the occasional circle to keep to the design. I only used stitch in the ditch (although I didn’t
really have a ditch to work with) around the outer circle.
For the inner border, I used a soft swirl just changing
direction as I moved along a side.

And as usual, the motifs can be seen better on the plain
backing fabric
