Hullo dear fellow quilters,
may I ask for your ideas? I've just started a log cabin quilt and unlike the one I made years ago, just knotted, this one will be hand quilted.
Now, there are a lot of seams in that pattern and I`ve chosen rather narrow strips. Some 2000 pieces, so lots and lots of seams.
I usually quilt my quills in a wavy pattern, you'll know the one, like quarters of a circle. But here, even with a thin wadding, this seems a bit of a nightmare.
Has anyone used a pattern that makes sense in a log cabin? Maybe just follow the contours, little rectangles? I just cannot think of anything else and checking old quilts on Ebay did not get me much further.
I`d be really grateful for a tip or two; maybe somebody even has a photo of a quilted log cabin for me?
Oh, and by the way, are there quilting needles that you really would recommend?
Thanks for your interest in reading this. And, seeing as I'm German, hello from across the big pond
Christina
