I like your quilting plan! And the Quilt is absolutely wonderful!

Your quilt is gorgeous. I would go with feathers on the braid.
|
What about doing the braid in some 'McTavishing' swirls? That may be a good match for the dense pebble quilting (but I wouldn't do it AS dense as the pebbling), and add some movement through the braids.
Your quilting so far is *aMAZing*! Beautiful top too :) |
My thought is it would work great with your plan! beautiful quilt!
peace :D |
Very pretty!
|
it is extremely lovely! Nice work and thanks for sharing. I love it!
|
I would suggest a vine with leaves similar in style to your appliqued vine but perhaps a bit larger in scale. It is truly stunning, a real work of art!
|
I like your idea about cross-hatch in the braided border to go with the basket. I think that would coordinate very nicely!
|
This is indeed a lovely quilt. I don't think you need any help. It looks magnificent to me. The colors, the workmanship and the quilting are all superb.
|
What a lovely job you've done!
|
WOW!!!! Amazing any way you look at it...color/execution/quilting!!!!
|
Love your quilt! It's gorgeous.
|
I like the suggestion of mirroring the applique vine/leaf design as the quilting pattern for the braid.
I have a braid in progress and have no idea how to quilt the braids, so I'm glad to see this topic. Of course, my FMQ skills are nowhere near yours! Beautiful work..both piecing and quilting. Anita |
Patti, I have absolutely NO ideas for you, but I just have to say that I LOVE this quilt!!!! Your quilting is spectacular. I especially love the quilted baskets!! I have never tried anything remotely like those baskets and the pebbles! Stunning!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
Beautiful!! Love the basket motif. Your colors are perfect! :thumbup:
|
What a beautiful quilt and I love the quilting you have done so far. Sorry, I have trouble figuring out how to quilt my quilts, so I rely on SID.
|
It is sure pretty so far. Can't wait to see how you finish it!!! :D
|
The quilt is beautiful and the quilted basket is great
|
Beautiful. The quilting enhances the entire quilt.
|
that is amazing...and on your DMS no less!! How in the world??? Double WOW!!! What about feathering the braid?
|
WOW great quilting.

Alright...here are a couple of options that I'm playing with...ignore my messy drawing....seems that I do better with the machine than the pencil:roll:
I had just thought about repeating the leafy vine, then came back and saw that several of you suggested it too...so I'll go draw that one along with the McTavish type swirls to see what they look like..... stay tuned...... a repeat feather option [ATTACH=CONFIG]224306[/ATTACH] shows the feathers OR just 1/4 inside the braid sections [ATTACH=CONFIG]224307[/ATTACH] |
I am looking at your quilt and thinking you are doing great job, Have you got enough input for the braided border yet, me I am no help (as youknow Patti) quilting is not my forte.
|
Just looked at your latest quilting drawing, I love the half flower thingies you chose for the braiding. Just had a very little brain wave, how about a rope style design instead of the diamonds.

What do you mean "rope style" Elle?...more like a cable type border?
I've drawn a couple of more for everyone to look at... the vine [ATTACH=CONFIG]224320[/ATTACH] Swirls [ATTACH=CONFIG]224325[/ATTACH] |
Yep Patti a cable style, it just came to me as I looked at your pic.

trying cable [ATTACH=CONFIG]224336[/ATTACH] |
Liked the other design you had for the braid border better, that one kind of detracts too much, just my two cents worth ya know. I do like the leaf design, thats pretty just spotted that one.
|
Beautiful quilt and quilting.
|
Love your previews - great idea! I really like the leafy vine and the cable border ... the corner flower is gorgeous - reminds me of dogwood.
Love your swirly McTavishes, but the leafy vine does seem to work better. |
Wow!! That is beautiful.
|
I'm not sure what the braided border would be. Why not just bind it off now. I don't think you want to make it any busier. It is just gorgeous now.
|
Doesn't look like you need a LA......you do great work without one. Beautiful!
|
What beautiful work, looking forward to seeing the finished project.
|
Absolutely gorgeous, wonderful work. I have no ideas, as good as you are I can't imagine you have no ideas.
|
I was thinking feathers, too. Whatever you do will look stunning. Hope to someday master FMQ. Lovely quilt.
