The customer was a bit dubious about this quilt – she was making it for her son who has a boat.  Hence the lovely nautical fabrics but having made it, it wasn’t wowing her.  So I suggested quilting it with a variety of quilting designs which might help her to feel more pleased with her efforts.  It worked – she was thrilled and felt much happier at giving it to her son.

Actually I was really happy to have the opportunity to quilt a strippy quilt like this and enjoyed using some designs by Angela Walter she’d suggested for exactly this kind of quilt.
