Old Gold and Blue is finished to the point of being a flimsy. Some of the golds look washed out in the photo; they are really all more vivid yellow to gold in color. I think high school kids will like the contemporary graphic look of this.
Now the hard part - the quilting. I'm going to echo quilt around the letters in Peddie. For the rest, in blatant imitation of Red Pepper Quilts, I am planning straight lines. Just need to decide between diagonal lines, running through either the gold or the blue squares. Or, horizontal and vertical lines 1/4 inch from the seams. Decisions, decisions!
So have you decided how to quilt Old Gold and Blue? I like it ? I vote for diagonal through the gold with blue thread or through the blue with gold thread. But fair warning, I've never quilted a top in my life!!
