Hi Betty,
Here are some designs that I thought might look good on your sons latest surf quilt.
I really like one of these surfboard designs for the big blocks.
Since there are 2 different size on-point blocks, I thought that maybe the designs in the block should be different. First, remember these will be on-point so tilt the design. And then one of these choices for the smaller blocks. I am leaning toward the seashells or sun with swirls but I really wanted your input.
.
OK, and the border design was easy. These looks like waves.
I found a couple of triangle designs that would work. These designs coordinate well but do not steal the show from the beautiful triangle fabric.
Of course, I will stitch in the ditch the blocks and borders. Since I am still new to custom quilting on my computer, I won't charge my normal full custom rate of 3 cents an inch which would end up being $334.95 on this big quilt. How about .022 per sq in? So with quilting, thread charge and tax, that comes to $247.08.
If you would prefer that I quilt an edge-to-edge (E2E) pattern rather than custom, tell me which one of these you like best. Edge-to-edge is more economical. We are all watching our budgets these days. So E2E would be $192.16 including the thread and tax.
Let me know which one you decide on, Betty and I will get started on it in a week or so.
