When I finish a quilt top, I just don't want to quilt it because I think the design I would choose will ruin it!
Anybody have that feeling??? |
Me me me!! :) Ugh...
|
all the time- i do load them up and get them done- but i always seem to go through that...boy- i hope i don't mess this up...feeling...and i never seem able to stick to a pre-plan- i think i'm going to do one thing then when i start i do something different---
always stressful at the start- once i get going it goes away though. |
Yes , I enjoy tying my quilts together.
|
There are times when I feel that the quilting will detract from the piecing. Thats when I stitch in the ditch.

I am learning to FMQ b/c I was limiting myself to making quilts that looked good with walking foot/straight line quilting only and that was way too limiting...
I don't remember where I learned this tip but you can buy a clear piece of Plexiglass (or even a similar material) and lay it on a quilt. Then draw your quilt design on the plexiglass to "audition" the design. Erase and try again if you don't like it. I have started a binder of FMQ designs to help trigger quilting ideas. I also look at the Daystyle quilting website. She has hundreds of FMQ ideas. |
Me too. I've made several tops, but I'm soooo worried that
I'll totally mess up the quilt when I go to quilt it. |
