What quilting design would work best??????
#1
I'm not near being finished with this quilt, but, I would like advise on what quilting design you would use.
I am a beginner at machine quilting, I have only done 4 so far, all my other quitls I have hand quilted.
I purchased the Flynn quilting frame, which I really, really love, but, like I said, I'm a beginner. The 4 quilts I have quilted using the Flynn system were either all over swirls, or the stempleing. Working up the nerve to go out on a limb and do feathers and such.
So, what's your thoughts?????
I am also adding two of the quilts I machine quilted.

Really like the quilts! I am a very beginner so I probably don't know anything ... but maybe it would be nice to simply follow the circular shapes, sort of like stitch in the ditch. It would give you practice to follow the outlines while you work up the nerve to do something more elaborate.
Looks excellent so far.

this quilt has so much work in it that i wouldn't choose to experiment on it. i would hand quilt and keep practicing on ones that i wouldn't cry over if i didn't like the results.
the hardest thing to do on a frame is stitching 1/4 inch away from the
seams, and, imho, that's what what shows off the work best. (and sid)
i think if you fill it up with stippling you lose the rhythm of the curves.

Oh, I didn't realize that stitching 1/4" from the seams would be so hard in a frame. Now that I know though, I definitely agree with Butterflywing. Ot looks like you have put a lot of work into the piecing so it might be better to save this for when you are more confident.
Also, I'm sure this would look incredible with hand stitching 1/4" from the seams. I don't have the skill or patience for that, but it seems like you do.
