Help!!!! How do I finish this???
First off---I am not very good at asking for HELP!!! That being said---HELP!!!!!
I am just finishing a big (for me) applique project---the big part is the appliques themselves. The pieces are 7" X 7" ish and I don't know how to quilt the whole thing!!!!! I have a Pfaff on a Grace frame and I can meander and do squigglies---enough to hold a quilt together!!---But I CAN NOT do any GREAT designs.................. And forget doing anything on my DMC!!!!! It is difficult enough wrestling to put the binding on!!!! I guess my question is: can I just squiggle my way across all appliques like they were not really there??? I will try and add a pic of the blocks.............. Thank you!!! |

Well....here it is!!!

That's really cute!
I would think that since they are large and somewhat abstract (not tiny and detailed) it should work to just do your normal quilting. |
I'm no help at all ~ but I really like it! Great job!
|
That quilt is sew cute! I think if you just did a simple quilting design all the way across like regular quilting it would be fine. I did a similar quilt with large appliques and I had my quilter use transparent thread so the thread color would not be distracting.
|
Meander and have fun with it. I would use a light gray or tan very neutral thread. The top right cat hanging upside down is clearly my favorite. Love the quilt.

Love the csts,!

did you attach the applique with stitching?. I can not tell . Simce the blocks are not yet sewn together you could quilt as you go and either fancy stitch on the applique or do a echo around each cat/mpouse/letter and then SID on the star. Also what does your batting say for recommended distance.? I think there are some out there that say 6" so that means that you could do simple wavy lines around inside of each block. Question- Do you need to attach applique with stitching AND iron on stuff?

Love the kitties. I'm not great with quilting designs, so I can't add any more to what has already been posted.

Thank you all for your help!!! Knowing that I CAN just quilt as normal THROUGH the appliques gives me great hope that I will do a good job of it!!!
Big sis---the cats et al were fused and stitched down and the blocks are all sewn together now!!! Just have to do the border!!!! The batting will be Warm & Natural---that is why my question--because they say 5" for that and the cats are bigger than that!!!! Thank you all again!!!! |
