Grad gift
1 Attachment(s)
This is the top of a quilt I made for my granddaughter's high school graduation gift. I got the pattern for the pieced hearts online but made the piano key border out of the same fabrics I used in the hearts.
Haven't started quilting it yet. Was thinking about stitching in the ditch between the blocks to stabilize, then putting a stippling stitch around the outside of each heart. From there I have no clue. Maybe I can get some ideas? [ATTACH=CONFIG]572266[/ATTACH] |
sounds great to me. i love your colors, and you can never go wrong with hearts. I love everything about this quilt.
|
Cute top! Outline stitching the hearts and a background stipple or meander sounds good.
|
If it were me, I would put the stitching guide on my walking foot and do diagonal straight stitch about 1.5" maximum apart, one direction only edge to edge, it would give it a puffy look and be so pretty. I love your quilt.
|
i would outline the hearts with a large stipple in the white areas. then SITD the piano keys
|
I love hearts and your quilt is wonderful! All those hearts just shows how much you love your DGD who will treasure this quilt!
|
Beautiful quilt!!!
|
What a great quilt! I think your ideas on how to quilt it would look very good. Lucky granddaughter!!

Your graduating granddaughter is going to love that quilt. You did a very good job & I love the colors!
|
I love your quilt. Very nice work!
|
Such a bright and cheerful quilt that will remind DGD of your love!
|
Such a colorful, bright quilt. Great job.
|
No clue about how to quilt, but I love that!
|
Love you quilt--so "full of love". How big are your blocks? I'm going to try to remember this one for my own granddaughter's graduation but not until next year. I have fabrics saved from the quilts I've made for her since a baby as well as 2000 prints from the year she was born. Seems an appropriate way and time to use of all of those.
|
That is such a pretty quilt! She will cherish it always.
|
My first thought was an echo stitch inside the hearts. Then a long wavy stitch down the sashing. I prefer a more minimal quilting to my tops, but the stippling would also work nicely. You could stitch a heart in the corner blocks to match the heart pattern.
|
Beautiful quilt! Your GD will love it! So bright & happy!
|
what about echo quilting around the stars? Then maybe cross hatch the border.
|
luv the colors....very pretty!
|
Beautiful quilt. I like doing heart quilts and yours is gorgeous. Can you share where you found the heart pattern. TIA Sharon
|
Great idea. You ladies are so clever.

Very pretty, I'll bet she will love the bright colors!
|
I love your quilt. My favorite motif is hearts so I especially love your beautiful quilt. Lucky granddaughter. Thank you for sharing.
|
So colorful and cheery, your granddaughter will love it to pieces.
|
Love the hearts and bright colors. My kind of quilt!
|
So bright and cheerful. I would stipple it to hold up under lots of washings. This one is going to get used.
|
Blocks are approx. 8" square including the background fabric.
