Well I sure have my nerve! lol. Haven't posted in 10 days and now I'm asking for help! I sure do hope someone out there in blogland has some ideas and is willing to share. The problem is how to quilt the center of some placemats that my Quild is making. We are making more than 200 placemats to be delivered to seniors over the upcoming holidays. Out of necessity these need to be made rather quickly, so to eliminate attaching binding, I have done the layer/stitch/birth technique. To help the edges have a nice finish, I added topstitching 3/8 inch from the edge [please see the second picture below].

How about outline just a few things - maybe the dirt road, part of the houses and the clouds? Or the trees, clouds and the cows? Good luck.
Hello stranger!! It would be nice to outline some of the buildings etc, but might take too long. How about a meandering but use a thread like Bottomline in a Oatmeal color so it disappears? Good luck and whatever you chose will be beautiful!
Hello Cyn :) I would say ditto to Deb's and Connie's ideas as they were what I was thinking when reading your post :) Look forward to seeing what you do. A good time for some FMQ practice I'd say ;) and whatever you do DON'T FROG STITCH! Hugs Ellyx
I think a large grid or meander would be fine. It would take forever to outline the details! Lovely gifts.
