Blast From the Past FMQ Quilting

I was trying to decide whether or not I should custom quilt or use a pantograph on Blast From the Past. I decided to custom quilt. I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to try different motifs. The three borders were easy to figure out. I quilt beadboard on the outer border. It's hard to see but it's a nice pattern to use. It makes the border nice and flat. I used swirls on the middle border and ribbon candy on the last border. 

Since each block is different, I have to decide what to do each time I encounter a new block. I did arcs and loops in the half square triangles.

I also search on line to see what other quilters are done with specific blocks. I love Natalia Bonner so I found her quilting on churn dash. I always love the look of straight lines. It's amazing how simple they are but always look so good.

I forgot how to make orange peels. I had to rip it out a few times before it came back to me! I'm glad I finally remembered.

This block has weird shapes in it. I'm trying to make it look like circles surrounding the middle square. The 9-patch is so small that I just quilted X's through them. I'm still not sure what to do with the middle yet. I'll figure it out! 

This is a fun project and great to be able to quilt some old motifs that I may have forgotten about. I'll post more pictures as I make more progress.
