Homework from Design It Quilt It
 

I am taking a class over the internet at craftsy.com. It takes designing a wholecloth and breaks it down into managable parts along with teaching awesome quilting techniques. The quilt is 40x 40. If I would do it again, I would quilt the outer edge with red thread. The quilt is actually a bright red. The color on the photo is way off.

That is just plain beautiful!!

Oh my goodness, this is absolutely gorgeous!

Very nice work!

Beautiful!!! Was the quilting done on a LA or domestic machine?

beautiful! Love the color it turned out in the photo, I am partial to pink!

OMG that is beautiful.

Gorgeous Deb! I really love the swirly feather texture in the outer area. LOVE all the feathers.

Oh my goodness! Beautiful work! I want to take THAT class. Were you able to quilt so evenly before? I'm really impressed.

Beautiful work!

Beautiful job! I was looking at that class myself. hanks to your spectacular quilt, I may bite the bullet and take it!

OMG! Amazing!

:thumbup:Fantastic!

That is magnificent!!!!!!!!

Beautiful!

Wow! That is gorgeous! Is that class geared towards long arm quilting or domestic machine quilting?

Fantastic! Job well done.

Oh Wow Deb, you did an excellent job! Doing those feathers in a circle is not easy. When you said you'd use Red thread next time I thought ?????. LOL... It looks hot pink from where I'm sitting. I agree with matching the thread to the fabric for the background fill work. Would really make the feathered wreath pop off the quilt. I like to use SoFine when doing that kind of quilting.

Very nice work!

So pretty!

WOW - Just beautiful, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

Beautiful ! It gives me hope for my quilts. What was the course and would you recommend it?

wow-I would love to quilt like that-superb

I took Design it, Quilt it. She does her work on a domestic machine, I am on a longarmer. She teaches the basics, then feathers and backgrounds, and how to look at a stencil and design with parts of it. She shows you how to take something overwhelming and put it into smaller pieces and deal with those smaller pieces. I have wanted to do a wholecloth for so many years now but the thought was overwhelming to design one.

There is the KISS rule, Keep it simple stupid. She doesn't say that but she follows it.

I have taken other craftsy classes but this one is one that a experienced beginner would benefit from as well as totally experienced quilters.

So the class teaches both quilting patterns such as feathers and backgrounds and designing a wholecloth to hold those wonderful quilting elements. She just made it so easy.
