Help please with design
3 Attachment(s)
I sandwiched this quilt top a few months ago. Finally decided on a design. I am not sure if I should start quilting the small squares or do the large motif first. Was going to do feathers, but changed my mind. Also do you all think this is a good design for this top?
I did not want anything to busy. Comments are welcome. Thanks in advance for all your help. [ATTACH=CONFIG]508798[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]508799[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]508800[/ATTACH] |
Nice. I might do this in straight lines of blocks then fill in the alternating blocks with a Fleur de leis or lotus flower. It looks like you put these blocks on point so I would take every other row and use your design on them then the rows that are still empty, use just the simpler center design. Lotus flower would look great with your pattern.

I think your design as sketched is a perfect one to use
(........ that would be purrrrrrrrrfect in honour of your avatar kitty! :)) |
I love the motif you used and it will be perfect for the quilt. If you map it out you should be able to do it continuously. I think you will be best off doing the larger motif first but use one bit of continuous curve (in your small squares) to travel from one block to the next. Then you can go back and do the rest of the smaller squares.
OK I just went back and looked at your design. Do you plan on ditching where you have the straight lines drawn? If so, I would do all the ditching first to anchor everything. Then you can proceed in whatever manner is most easy for you to do. It won't matter what order because everything will be anchored into place from your ditch work. |
I have nothing to offer but anxious to see the finished beauty! Going to be lovely, I just know it. Already gorgeous!

I do all my FMQ on my domestic machine so will be starting from the middle and working out. |
I like your design a lot. I would do SID first and then the designs.

I like your design. I have done similar quilting with squares and diamonds. I do the ditch first (FMQ) and then come back and do the curves in the squares. Then quilt the motif last.

Thanks to all of you that replied. I have decided to do the SID first. If this turns out good, I may enter it in the fair this year.
