need suggestions for quilting this
#11
Boy I need practice with this mouse quilting thingie....
I think the top pattern is called a pumpkin seed?
The bottom one simplifies a curvy-curly pattern. Please don't laugh at my attempts with mouse finesse...its obvious I don't have any...

I really like your top illustration. Just wondering if this could be done without stopping all the way across a row? I've tried to visualize and can't see it. BTW, I admire your drawing with a mouse.....I couldn't do it, IF I knew how. I think I just figured out a way, if I make one curve all the way across the top or bottom, then start on the rest of the curves in motion without any stops.

I did a similar quilt where the triangles were 10 in high, as I don't have a LA (jwalousy is a terrible affliction sigh) I stitched vertical lines which were intentionaly slightly wonky about an inch apart. I love you colours x

Thank you. My granddaughter picked these fabrics out for her baby quilt that I'm making. The backing is gray Cuddle Bubble (minkee type fabric.....same color as the gray/white polka dot fabric.)

Hi I just did this quilt pattern for 3 Christmas quilts, I used the triple clam shell design board for my long arm, but if you don't have the board just get the pantograph, I turned the pattern upside down so it kinda looked like garland. I really liked the end result. Let me know if I can help you in any way.

I am beginning the alter ego quilt I recently viewed on Missouri Star Quilt and it has the triangles (hour glass block) and 4-square blocks. I am thinking about free-motioning hearts. One in each triangle and one in each block of the 4-square. The hearts will be right side up, up side down and sideways depending on whether in a triangle or block. Each triangle and each block will have a heart. Makes for a lot of hearts since there are 48 blocks and each block has 4 triangles or squares. Of course this reply comes from a new quilter and even newer free-motion person!!
