Not in love

I'm not in love with the way the quilting is going on this quilt, which is why I keep procrastinating. It's got so much contrast that anything simple such as allover would show up in all the wrong places.


I decided to feather the black-surrounded crazy-pieced blocks, but an not that thrilled with how they turned out - the thread is too obvious on the bright blocks.


Then I did a loop in the blue border.


And a wavy line in the white block borders.


Now I'm quilting the centres of the white-surrounded blocks. I still need to work out what to do with the blue in these blocks - and the two white borders. And if I'd got on with the job tonight, it would be done - but it's not!

    I don't think your thread choices are unappealing to the eye. At least in photograph, they appear to blend well. Whay I question is using a traditional feather motif on a very non-traditional crazy-pieced block. The swirls seem to be a much better design fit to me. It's always a struggle to select the perfect design. I, too, second guess design choices far too often. I'm sure when it is done, you'll feel differently.
