I can do spiral pretty good so I thought I would try the flower one.. I wanted to make a big design but I am having trouble keeping the design big, as I go along they get smaller. and being this is a big quilt I think a bigger design will look better..
I think it is ok to have different sizes of the flowers but my question is how do I keep most of the design bigger..I seem to just keep make them smaller without even realizing that I am doing that.. Also do I have to fill in every space on the top or can I leave small areas that have nothing in it?
anyone have any subjection on how to keep the design big..Beside drawing the design on the top, which I really don't want to do..I tried to keep in my mind big big big, but that didn't help..Thanks
This design looks really good. I can't remember if you are using a long arm or a domestic machine for your quilting. I use my domestic machine and find it hard to make a larger design. Overall though, on a larger quilt, I don't think it is really noticeable if you have a variation in the size of the motif. Your quilt looks beautiful.
