I had originally thought only to stipple the white and do something simple in the border, but some of the red areas in the blocks were so big, I felt they needed some quilting as well. And since this is a sampler, I figured: why not do some sample quilting? Ehhh... so this is where I went a bit overboard - doing a small feather circle, two loopy leaves, three small linked hearts, some feathered hearts, a border stencil and some X's in the blocks + two different stencils in the borders - one linked hearts for the long sides and one cable stencil for the short sides:
It really was easy to do the motif, but I'm not sure how much fun I think it is to pick out the paper after it's done.
The overall look of the quilt is a little "messy", but I enjoyed myself immensely on this, and it will be a fun quilt to look at in the future.

Hope you have enjoyed your weekend!

I still love the red and white quilt. And if you think it's messy, I like messy. It's beautiful. That must be some opera to have a crowd like that. Thank God it didn't rain.
I like your red aand white quilt very much !!
You should have been to our Sylvia's Bridal Day in The Netherlands. There even came a lady froom Norway to visit us. We had such a good time.
Du verden så flott. Jeg kan godt forstå at du har koset deg med quiltingen og at det må kjennes godt i både nakke og skuldre.
The quilt is beautiful! You put a lot of work into it, now you'll have to rest those shoulders for a day or two :) Looks like fun on the Opera roof, we saw it on the news last night. Did you manage to stay warm?
The quit turned out terrific!
you did a great job with the quilting, the effect is wonderful, not messy. It looks cold at the opera.
Nydelig! Jeg likte godt at du testet ut like quiltemønstre på et teppe som består av ulike blokker.
Jeg er heller ikke den som liker all papirplukkingen som kommer etter å ha sydd på papir... ellers er det jo en god ide :-9
Ha en fin dag!
quilten din blir bare sååå flott! Du er jaggu snar i vendingen og får gjort unna ting og tang!
Lykke til med lukkekantsøm:o)
My OH my you done it again my friend. It is gorgeouse. Your quilting is fantastic!
Dette ble virkelig bra, flott quilting her!
How beautiful! And I love how the quilting is different in each block. It is truly unique.
Was the open air opera just for the premiere?
Thank you so much for yesterday, I am still smiling :) I think your quilting looks beautiful, I have never tried quilting with a paper motif.
Beautiful quilt! And it's not meesy at all!
Thank you for a fun day!
Absolutely stunning!!! The quilt looks wonderful and your quilting is beautiful.

I love your machine quilting, Anne Ida! You've been pretty busy!
The red & white quilt is spectacular. Two color quilts are always a good choice.
