Covering my world with fabric

Yes I could cover almost everything with pretty fabric.  Remember the song by COKE back in the 70's?  "I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony, I'd like to buy the world coke...."   Okay...I've change the words and have been singing "I'd like to teach the world quilt in perfect harmony, I'd to sew the world quilt....."  You get the idea...yep teetering on the edge of lunacy.

Anyway...yesterday I spent most of the day doing the quilt stare, drawing and spritzing away the drawings.  This quilt hung on the quilt rack for months not quilted.  It was there so I could see it daily for when inspiration hit.  Well it never hit.  Its such a happy quilt that just screams SPRING, it must be finished.   I wanted to keep the quilting simple on the borders because they are so colorful, so that part has been easy.  

 After consulting all my quilting design books I came up with a few ideas.  You can see by the ghost markings that none of them were pleasing.  

I feel a quilting aneurysm coming after 6 hours of trial and error.  Step away from the quilt, you can't burn this one!!  Grab the first non quilted item you see and cover it with fabric.  Remember this?  That black stool needs a makeover.

The black legs will need to go as soon as it's warm enough outside to use spray paint.  Can't cover them with fabric!   Well I could but it wouldn't last long, I use this stool a lot.

 Oh yes, quilty satisfaction.
