I am just a quilt topper and almost never ever finish a quilt. I think it may be because I don't know what stitching designs to use other than SID. How does one decide how to quilt a quilt? Echo, meander, lines, or what ever. I have over three dozen different 12 inch blocks and would like to do something with them. ( I would really like to just give them away to some organization to make quilts for wounded warriors or something.)
My husband says I never quilt because I am "narrow minded" in what I like to sew. Maybe I need an attitude adjustment. :hunf: Too bad I couldn't find someone who doesn't like to "top" and just get to the quilting. :roll: I did finish and quilt my avitar............... |
It's called 'quilting by check'. 8-)

If you need someone to quilt your quilt, I do custom quilting
|
I also would prefer making tops and giving to someone else to quilt-excep I hand-quilt and love that-it just takes too long and I would always want one to work on-but I would like to "TRADE"-I'll piece their tops-they can quilt mine! I wish I could afford to pay for someone to long arm my quilt tops!

That is a beautiful quilt

Maybe try printing out copies of a picture of your quilt top in black and white on just copy paper.
Take a colored ultra fine point permanent marker, and draw quilting lines/designs onto these copies. Play around with them until you get a look that you like :D:D:D |
There's a great book called Machine Quilting Solutions by Christine Maracchini that teaches you how to 'read' a quilt. When I got it, it was a light bulb going on in my brain. Now I find while I'm piecing a top, I'm planning the quilting and can hardly wait to get to it! :D
