Modern patterns do not appear to sit well on old style quilts. McTavishing cum Kitchen Window design as per completed Wm Morris quilt (see earlier post) not really appropriate - nor modern geometric designs.

Preparing to FMQ a 1930's style quilt!
Here's my next UFO quilt on the conveyor belt . . well, on the Juki actually. Have 2 more waiting to be layered (tedious chore) plus other quilt tops in the wings. This 1930's quilt will have to remain on kitchen table whilst I decide exactly how to tackle it.

Have a couple of antique quilts in the loft. Will look to see how they were quilted and maybe adapt their hand quilted designs for the sewing machine. Decisions decisions . . .

I know you will come up with the perfect desing quilting pattern for this beauty.
I do agree with you about the patterns not suiting the quilts though, and sadly, vermicelli is used to death nowadays.
