Thank you so much Wendy for sharing your ideas with us. Great directions and love the picture! It makes it so clear. I love this design. Please share more when you can. Personally, I could use all the help I can get when it comes to figuring out quilting inside blocks.
A hug! |

OK, so I'm not sure if this qualifies as a tutorial or not, but here goes...
I spend quite a bit of time figuring out FMQing designs/motifs to use on my quilted pieces using my domestic machine. I only started FMQing 3 years ago or so, have spent a ton of time practicing in addition to quilting assorted quilt tops, tote bags/purses, table runners, and consider myself an "intermediate" level FMQuilter at this point. I've still got a lot to learn but feel like I'm developing my own preferences style. I want to share with you the process I went through to come up with a "new" design. Please let me know if you like to see this kind of information. If you all enjoy seeing it, I can post more as I work on projects... This is a design I made up and it evolved into what it is after spending a couple of hours designing/practicing with a pencil and sketch pad. (I know...this design is pretty simple...why did it take so long...LOL) Yesterday I pieced and sandwiched a french braid table runner for a wedding gift, quilted some of my favorite feathers up the "braids", and I've been working on coming up with a FMQing motif to use in the 2" accent squares. (I have it drawn up and will post a pick of it stitched out tonight or tomorrow on this same thread.) This first picture shows the process of drawing/stitching out the design a step at a time: [ATTACH=CONFIG]358427[/ATTACH] And this one is a sketch of the placement on the accent squares: [ATTACH=CONFIG]358428[/ATTACH] Feel free to copy and use as desired! |
Vary nice! Bring on the designs.
