Quilting suggestions??
1 Attachment(s)
Hi everyone!
Now that I have some me time I’m ready to get back to quilting. This is the first thing I would like to get finished and I’m stumped and would really appreciate some quilting suggestions. Keep in mind, I’m certainly not that advanced with my longarm, though I have mastered edge to edge pantos and freehand meandering. This is a 120 x 120 king size quilt that will have Hobbs wool batting and it’s all batiks including the back. |
WOW That is beautiful. I can't help you, but I'm really interested in hearing what others have to say.

Very pretty...sorry, no suggestions.

Gorgeous quilt! Someone else will have to pop in with quilting suggestions though.

Your quilt is beautiful....pattern and colors! I don't have any suggestions as I'm learing to FM quilt myself and haven't mastered anything. MHO and only MHO is that when I see a quilt that is very busy in the piecing I prefer the quilting to be more subtle-let the quilt be the show-off....like I said -- MHO! Which do YOU prefer-lots of quilting or not? My own preference is that if the piecing is minimal then I'd like the quilting to stand out a bit more...but if the piecing is prominent then I'd like the quilting to be more subtle to show off the piecing. Good luck with your choice...wish I could have been more helpful!

Beautiful quilt and love your fabrics. I don't have any suggestions on quilting as I always send my quilts out to a LA quilter but I sure will be checking in to see what everyone suggests.

I would pick a nice panto

Lisa, welcome back and glad you have some You time! I suggest heading over to MQR (Machine quilters resource). its all machine quilters. Not all long armers and there is a thread on there for help. The subscription is $20 a year and is totally voluntary. The owner used to be a long armer and now keeps the site up for us. Lots of help over there. Sometimes someone will draw a suggestion on your quilt...and sometimes they have quilted one like it and will post how they quilted it.

I would suggest some dot to dot quilting in the body of the quilt and some feathers in the border. Or a nice panto in the body and then the feathers. If you are not confident doing feathers freehand you could get or make a stencil and mark them.
