|  I can't seem to figure out how to quilt this, now that it is pieced and appliqued. At first, I was thinking of putting some sort of stone work, an arch or castle, but then realized there isn't really room to do that. I'm not too great at straight lines, so I do try to avoid those. Please, share your ideas! | |

| If you do a banner style cut at the bottom you could use a fancy font to do your son's initial and "rays" extending out around it. Just let the rays end at the rocks at the base of the the dragon. I know rays are straight lines but painter's tape is a great tool to quilt straight lines. Place your tape and quilt on each side of it. No messy lines to try to get rid of later! _________________ TxMaryQuilts

| You could always copy the celtic design off the book cover and do that around the top half, just a thought. Laughing at the ketchup and skeleton Oh and by the way - he looks awesome JR, you have done a fantastic job, he is brilliant!!! _________________ "My will is mine.....I shall not make it soft for you" Aeschylus, Agamemnon

| Good idea with the painter's tape. I'll have to remember that. The rays coming off had been my other idea, but getting those lines wonky was too big of a fear. I'd be annoyed by it if it was too badly done!
I hadn't thought of replicating the book designs, that could be fun too. I'm glad you like him, it has been an adventure. | |
