The quilted sashing and colored portions of the rick rack and the unquilted backgrounds. There were 70+ of these triangles and I could not face filling them with a stop-and-start motif. Today, inspiration struck.
I did a loop-de-loop with continuous stitching all the way through each column.
I think the big loops complement the rick rack nicely and continue the soft curves of the other quilting.
A bit hard to see, but look at all the texture now. It is no longer a cheating quilt!

I've always liked this quilt and your quilting really sets it off. You do a great job machine quilting, Annie!
The quilting is perfect! Isn't it just great when inspiration strikes and it works out! Great job!
I like that loopdy loop idea and the colors on this quilt are lovely.
I love that quilt and your machine quilting design solution! What a great way to use up stash fabrics. I can totally see doing one in florals and batiks, or wild kid-friendly colors, or homespuns. Love the loopy quilting - I am totally stealing that idea.
Definitely a lightbulb moment. Your quilting motif is a wonderful match to the piecing of the border. Well done!
Perfect solution! And your loops are so consistant, how do you do that? I think figuring out what design to quilt is the hardest part of the whole process.
Great idea! I think it looks marvelous! Have a happy Sunday!
Don't you love it when the light bulb goes on? It's a pretty quilt. Love the purple polka dot back.
I love big loops on quilts- so glad you were inspired to finish this "cheat".
I think one of the hardest things about quilting is deciding what design to use to stick those three layers together forever!
Beautiful job Annie.
WOW.....you 'dun' good girl!! I LOVE how you quilted it....clapping!!
(ok, rub my nose in it...how much weight have you lost now?)
