Help - FMQ ideas to hide less than perfect circles!
1 Attachment(s)
Hi all
I have quilted all the blue. Now to quilt the white! My circles are less than perfect. I need ideas for quilting in the white, which won't draw attention to the mismatched 'points'. Thanks Trisher[ATTACH=CONFIG]603298[/ATTACH] |
Pretty top and only you notice the circles not being perfect, they look good to me. It looks like kind of a flower pattern in the blue and ropes. I might do ribbon candy in the square part around the center square. I would work out the ribbon candy so each corner had one of the loops to kind of form another loopy flower around the square. You could probably leave the last white of the circle without quilting if the batting spacing allows.

Love blue and white quilts, I only stitch in the ditch so I am no help, just wanted to say how much I like your quilt!!!
|
Can't help with the quilting but did want to congratulate you on the pretty pattern! Those circles are very striking!
|
Very pretty quilt! Agree with Tartan that the imperfections are noticed more by you. I primarily meander, so not much personal help there (like Tartans suggestions though).

I have wanted to do the Glorified nine patch for years, even bought the template just never made it. Your quilt is lovely and we all know that we are our own worst critics. If the quilt is for yourself I wouldn't worry so much about it but that's just me. I just made a quilt and I can't even figure out how I lost my points when I measured they were all there but when I got done with the borders they were gone!! Who knows it's for a baby so I really can't do anything about it.

That’s really pretty! I didn’t see mismatched points till I zoomed in really close. You see them because you know they’re there. By the time you have it quilted, washed and dried, i bet it’ll look just right to you. Seriously.
As fir design of quilting, I’m not an exoert by any sttetch. How dense do you want it? If not much, I can see arches from corner to corner to mirror the semi/ circles, then filled in with zigzags or ribbon candy, |
I don't zoom in on anyone's work. It looks great to me, we are our worse critics.
Beautiful quilt. |
I only zoomed in to see what she was talking about. If someone points it out and asks for suggestions that might help them like their work better, as Trisher did, then I oblige. Not to be critical at all, so Jingle, my intentions were all good.

That's soooo very, very pretty. Don't forget that after it's washed you won't even notice the areas that are bothering you.
