Need stencil source or ideas for Turning Twenty quilting
I don't wan't to stipple or meander or SID or do diamonds and will be quilting it on My Janome (not long arm).
I could figure out something for the 10" squares, but can't figure out what to do about the rectangles. it is all Neptune Batiks if that helps with the ideas. http://www.ttfabrics.com/fabrics/tonga-neptune/ |
maybe some ideas here http://www.pinterest.com/vickie720/quilting-motifs/

You could duplicate some of the patterns in the prints, like the starfish, shells or swirls.

I would do "waves" across the quilt, which also happens to be very easy. See my post in this recent thread:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...d-t233746.html Here is a website that shows kind of what I have in mind: http://cactus-needle.blogspot.com/20...n-in-blue.html This one adds bubbles (have to scroll down to the very bottom of the page): http://stitchinpostinsisters.typepad...rs/art-quilts/ Here's one that is more evenly geometric: http://ameetsz.wordpress.com/2011/08...quilting-post/ |
I use "quilting made easy" for blocks of all sizes. It feels like cheating, but works like any other pattern. you are just sewing through paper.

I know that the Crafty Gemini does something she calls a sea urchin that she free motions and is a fairly simple design. Sorry I don't have the link saved. Hope you find something that inspires you.

If you use a block design for the square, then I would consider a border stencil for the rectangle. These designs can be adjusted for length. However when using distinctive designs such as this I would set the block units in a structured way to give a uniform overall design.
Have I read your post correctly that you want to quilt individual units and not all over? |
Thank you all for the great ideas.
