I like the cables, but I think nested squares would have looked better. Just my opinion, LOL

To me cables don't really go with FLW, but you did a nice job on them.

Feeling stupid, but I don't know what the nested squares quilting looks like. Can you point me to a picture? I like your cables and think you did a great job! Home machine or long arm? Did you mark them or free motion? While, I like the cables, I don't think they're quite right for this quilt. Or maybe there just needs to be additional quilting surrounding and emphasizing the cables.

It is not bad but it would have been better if it could be a little wider to fill the space. Just my honest opinion.

My opinion only - - -
I understand the idea of curves to contrast with linear - but if it were mine - it would all be linear. Stitch in the ditch around every black piece - and a grid or something linear to fill up the white spaces. Your cables are nicely done, but I would like straight lines better on this quilt. |
Since you asked, I have to agree that linear quilting would have been more fitting for this quilt. The cables are nicely done though, just don't stay with the theme of FLW. Sorry
Just have to add, I recently auditioned some quilting on a quilt, micro quilting at that and did not like it. Can I say, picking that out is a pain! |
Maybe you could { Echo Quilt} along your cables to fill the space- give them some balance. They turned out nice, just kind of out of place- too narrow for the space
|
The cable softens the linear look of the rest of the quilt. I like it!
|
Normally I would say add curves to balance out the straight lines but that is what FLW is about. I think something like cross hatch or mimicking the chevron piecing would fit better. By the way, you did a nice job with the cable stitching
