I've been quilting the
Mountain Top quilt for the past few weeks - finally got the binding sewn on (all by machine) this weekend. I straight stitched through the inner block sashings - where the background meets the black squares, and a large meandering stitch up to and through the narrow scrappy border; then just straight line quilting through the outer border. The original quilt pattern didn't have a border, and it was set 4 x 5 blocks - I had laid many of the blocks on the floor and I felt it was all to overwhelming without somewhere "blank" to look at. The quilt still finishes at good size, 72" x 87".
