Need some advice - how to quilt this
I have finished the "stacks" quilt from Jenny Doan's website and I'm ready to quilt it. How would you accomplish the quilting on this. My quilt has tan instead of the white and jewel tone strips instead of fabric with patterns. I'm not sure how to quilt he tan and then transition into the jewel tones, what color thread to use. My machine doesn't like invisible thread at all which was my first choice.
Here is the video of the quilt I'm talking about in case you haven't seen it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxDCzCKd_3I |
Some of these modern quilts are difficult to decided how to quilt them. That is a lot of background. Sometimes I Google the quilt to see how others have quilted theirs. Good Luck!

Take a look at www.greenfairyquiltsblog.com to see if you want to add designs to the tan.

I'd go with a grey-beige throughout, possibly in a 50wt to blend in more.

It has been my experience that a gold colored thread goes with just about everything. So does a sage green.
Another option you can consider is a very fine thread like invisifil from Wonderfil threads. It is a 90 wt polyester that sinks down into the fabric and reflects whatever color fabric it is sitting on. On the below quilt I used Invisifil in the sky which was many different shades of fabric. You don't see the thread at all, just the texture left behind by the quilting. I think I used a light sky blue color but can't remember for sure. [ATTACH=CONFIG]556608[/ATTACH] |
i would echo quilt along the curves of the stacks

Feline Fanatic! Love your quilting designs. Can you tell me if Invisifil thread is like bottom line thread from Superior threads? I am quilting with bottom line thread and it also disappears into the fabric so you only see the designs.
