Your quilt is beautiful I agree with feathers and popping triangles I think it is a winner already
|
I think if I was to piece something that fantastic, I'd turn Green Fairy loose on it!! :lol:
I've no suggestions, other than feathers don't even seem adequate for what you've done here...and I *love* feathers!! :lol: |
Truly gorgeous! I had to backtrack and take another look at least 6 times.
|
No help with the quilting but wanted to say that your quilt is gorgeous.
|
OMG..........it is absolutely beautiful..out of this world.
I love pp but I don't think that I could ever, in my wildest dreams.........do one that size. Again, it is beautiful. mj |
OMG.....That is a Beautiful quilt. That had to have taken a lot of work to do the PP. Just Gorgeous!!! Outstanding!!!

It is a pattern from Karen Stone Paperpiecing called McCommas Beauty. |
WOW!!! Stunning quilt!! You have done an amazing job on putting that one together. I think the feathers will look wonderful on it, of course, I'm a huge feather fan. I really can't wait to see it finished, I just know it will win the show...its lovely!
|
Your quilt is breath taking! I would stitch in ditch, And I would do feathers. I think if quilt pattern is straight lined and pointed, curved quilting makes the quilt pop. Good luck in your show.
|
You have set my goal even higher than I expected I could ever do. I believe that is the moes beautiful piece of art I have ever seen. Please show us the finished project - it is certainly a winner.
|
What a gorgeous quilt! I love paper piecing. It can be tedious, but the results are worth it.
|
Yours is the most stunning ~ breathtaking ~ paperpieced version of Karen Stone's curved designs I've EVER seen. I think such perfect points scream for curvey feather quilting. This quilt will win prizes when it is finished! Thank you for showing it to us!
|
breathtaking!!!!
|
Love it, love it, love it. Get it in the show! It is absolutely stunning, you should do very well at the show.
Good luck, if this were a public voting system at the show you would get my vote for sure! Great job, hugs Gail |
Beautiful - It would take a more experienced quilter than I to advise, but I know you will find a way
|
great ideas

I agree with the previous posting that you should outline stitch in the ditch to emphasize the main points pattern, In the big pieces maybe you could just stitch 1/4 inch apart in an echo all the way to the center. The geometry might be nice.
|
Wow, It is so beautiful now I can't wait to see it when you add the quilting. AMAZING!
|
Sorry no ideas but WOW on both this and your avatar! Amazing work! Show us when you do figure out how to finish this quilt. I'm sure it will be a show stopper!
|
The quilt is beautiful, it needs to be in the show. I liked the idea of SID around the points to bring them out. Good Luck and let us know how you did.It really is stunning.
|
How about some kind of design in the background, gray, on-point squares for starters? If you can figure out feathers or something to put into those areas, maybe the rest will fall into place. Good luck - great quilt! I love Karen K. Stone's quilts and have done one myself!
|
WOWZER! :shock: I cannot help with quilting advice but just had to tell you what a beautiful top this is & that you did an amazing job on it. :thumbup: What a stunning top!

OMG, your
|
Let me try this again. omg, WHAT A GORGEOUS QUILT!!!! First place I were a judge.
|
I just went to a class given by Helen Squire. Her rule is if the design is geometric it needs flowing quilting design. I think the feathers are a brilliant idea for you amazing quilt. In flowing cables maybe along the sashing lines. And a larger flowing feather design in the larger blocks. Don't forget the borders.
|
Ooops, just went and looked again. No borders, so skip that recommendation. Find something beautiful and flowing and audition it over the blocks. Whatever you choose will be lovely.
|
Wow, can't help you with the quilting either, but do get a quilting pattern that matches your quilt design. Maybe star patterns. A professional quilter would really help, and yes do enter it in a quilt show, a job well done.
|
This top is beautiful
|
Absolutely gorgeous. Have no idea how to quilt it. Just wish I could pp that well. You should be very proud. Maybe you should take your time and enter it next year because it truly is a winner.
|
That is gorgeous!! Haven't a clue about the quilting,
but I'm drooling too much to even think of something like that. I had no idea that people could do such marvelous work in quilting till I found this forum!! I'm in awe of such work!! And I'll bet that you win whatever event you enter this lovely thing in! |

It's beautiful! I also made Karen Stones McCommas Beauty and can't believe how different they look with different fabrics and color placement!
|
It's beautiful. I can understand why you would hesitate. It's so lovely you would hate to mess it up.
I would want to accentuate the points. And those open areas just call for a beautiful design. Please share with us when you get it quilted. It's so stunning. Cynthia |
This is a masterpiece !!! :-D
|
WOW! how beautiful, you difinetely need to finish that up and put it in the show. that is where it belongs. good luck!

WOW!!! Your McCommas is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love to see see the quilts in other color ways and fabrics. I think one in blues would be stunning too. |

I am thinking you are right, my husband just said the same thing last night about entering it next year instead of this. (I was telling him about all the comments and suggestions thru the board here) I want to improve my feather skills so am thinking that is the thing to do. I am so appreciative of all the wonderful comments, and ideas!! The Avatar picture that was mentioned is also a Karen Stone paperpiecing pattern. I have 2 friends that made the same one except in different colors and they are beautiful too. |
I would try somthing to make your cures pop, maybe 1/8 inch either side and also somthing in centers.
