How would you quilt this?
1 Attachment(s)
Straight lines on domestic or try big stitch for first time. Any ideas please?[ATTACH=CONFIG]504268[/ATTACH]

I love your quilt - if it were mine I would do the diagonal lines. The fabric is so busy I think any fancy quilting would be lost. But if you intend for it to be reversible then maybe a more fanciful quilting would be better.

Beautiful quilt. I would do simple straight lines as I think piecing and fabrics are the focus of this beauty.

I'd either do diagonals OR do straight through the middle of the squares ....
But you could also do small curves corner to corner -- but that's a lot of curves! But you can do them in a linear fashion so you aren't having to start and stop any more than straight lines! Or you could do a larger curvier pattern overall in a thread that blends (say grey) so it doesn't take away from the piecing. But I would do much custom otherwise, because it will get lost! Beautiful quilt by the way! |
Can anyone tell me if I wanted to diagonal stitch this in both directions would I do one full set of lines in one direction first then do the other direction? Would that distort it?
