Sure....you just added another quilt to my "to do" list. I absolutly love this quilt!! The pattern and the fabrics are perfect together! Love it!!! I would do an overall stipple. It would add some design to the quilt without taking away from the beautiful fabrics and pattern. Great job!

What a beautiful quilt!! Personally, I would do stitch in the ditch, but that is because it is what I am most comfortable with. Whatever you decide, make sure you are comfortable with it. It is a big quilt. You want it to be fun to quilt, not a frustration!

This is very interesting to me, as I am making a quilt with 1/2" sashing (sounds weird, I know, but the fabrics are very dainty). How wide is the brown sashing in the picture? If I went down the middle of the 1/2", wouldn't it disappear?
What is an echo stitch? Thanks, Charlotte |
Thanks to everyone who responded! You've given me a lot to think about. My plan of action is to quilt down the center of the brown sashing to help stabilize it. Then I'm going to try an all over meander in thread that matches the muslin. I think my fear was that having the white thread cut through the brown sashing and the greens and yellows would ruin the geometry of the quilt. However, I've been looking at how similar patterned quilts have been done & it looks good, so I'm ready to take the risk. I will post a picture when I'm finished.
Thanks for the encouragement and support! Krista |

LOVE the quilt. just my colors!

thank you all for your suggestions. I ended up closing and brown along the brown strips to stabalize the quilt. I tried twice to meander quilt, bun in the middle, the weight of the quilt would mess up the tension. After ripping out the quilting twice, I decided to just quilt around each diamond in a bright green thread. It is not exactly how is hoped, but I am still happy with the end result.
I can't get the picture to load, but here is a link to a picture of the finished quilt: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/193443746469385141/ |
That's beautiful! Great job.

Looks great! You did a super job

Beautiful quilt and I vote for in the ditch@! Can't wait to see it finished. But all the suggestions like stipple or large meander would definitely be easier. for all kthe reasons everyone else suggested.
PS I've done a few 'stitch all around the ditch' quilting, so I know that what the other responders are saying about SITD is true. |
