Stack & Whack Wonky blocks - How to quilt?
1 Attachment(s)
I was thinking of just SID so that the design will show on the back. But also thought something curvy would soften the sharp angles... but do I really want to soften it? After all, the wonky angles are the main focus of the pattern, right? Can you tell that I'm conflicted??? LOL Any and all thoughts are gratefully accepted. Thanks [the colors are not as bright as shown]

I have never seen anything like this. I have just been looking at it for the longest time enjoying it. Sorry no help on the quilting.
|
I'm not too familiar with quilting designs but I think a medium meander would do. Will not over power your hard work. Just a thought. Love the top and color combo.
|
love the top.the pattern is so crisp and bold that quilting will not mask it.Can't wait to see what you do to it-when it doubt stipple it
|
How about a couple rows of echoing each shape?
|
Just neat as can be, great job, thank you for sharing, I like it
Have a Blessed day Ellen |
I would also suggest echo shadowing
|
I agree with the echo quilting. I think that would work nicely for this pattern. Cute!
|
I would use a large, sharp pointed zigzag, all over meander to keep with the wonky edge design theme!

Really neat quilt, I think echo would look good!
|
Where did you find this pattern........this would be great for my son.

I think the spiral out from the center would be great. Instead of doing circles out though I would do a straight line spiral to stay with the anglular look. I would start in the center of the center blocks and stitch straight to the center of each wall on the center block. I would move out from there to the center of each outer block wall until each block is quilted. It will look great whatever design you decide on. Great quilt top!

i love all of the suggestions so far... some i would never have thought of. thanks for the input from all of you. this board is the greatest :thumbup:
|
Great quilt. If it were mine, I would do a zig zag medium fill stitching in the back ground of each square and outline each inside shape. Sandy 64
|
I agree, stipple it.
|
Wonky away and be sure to show us your final product!
|
I love wonky. I love stippling. They'll look good together! Great quilt! :thumbup:
|
I LOVE the modern look of this quilt. I immediatly thought of a Zig-zag like some of the others suggested...that would keep the sharp look and keep with the modern look. Sometimes on my own personal quilts I don't like to soften the lines either...I think sometimes it's good to keep them sharp.That's just my opinion.
|
I would suppose it would depend on who it is for. If it is for a guy, I would say wavy lines (kinda like a brook). But, if it is for a woman, I would say concentric circles would be wonderful.
|
I agree with echo quilting to reinforce an already sharp quilt.
|
Maybe celebrate it's wonkyness (is that a word?). Echo quilt the shapes?
|
SID would be great! Love it! :)
|
I vote for echo quilting !!
|
Love it! Unique and unusual. I'd do echo.
|
what an unusual design.
|
I would do one outline row around each seam and in the border. Probably using my quarter inch foot. My DGD wants an all plaid quilt and I am thinking this might be a great pattern for that! I love it!
|
Maybe an angular spiral echo in each of the center blocks, no quilting in the middle colors and then echo fill the larger section of each block. Celebrate the geometry!
|
Really like your quilt, good luck quilting it.
|
I like the idea of the angular spiral, but I think it would look great with concentric feathers, one built for each shape in the block, it would soften yet add extreme interest into the blcks. The quilt is beautiful, no matter what you do to it, it has a strong personality already, and will stand on that.
|
I love that pattern. I just seen that one facebook( I think it was one of my friends that posted a tute for it). I love how bold it is. :)
