Celtic Knot on French Braid
1 Attachment(s)
So this is my Celtic Knot French Braid quilt, it is one of my very favorite quilts. The only issue I am having right now is deciding on the quilting. I can either free motion (not on a long arm sadly), embroider, or stitch in the ditch. Now I am leaning towards stitching in the ditch, the pattern/embroidery and fabrics speak enough without extras. But would love advice from experienced quilters.

Beautiful!! and I can relate to the quilting part.

I can give you no advice about quilting but surely love your colors. How did you do the celtic knots? This is a great design.
|
Maybe if you SID and then embroider the Celtic knots in the black areas, top and bottom.
|
what a wonderful quilt! i agree with tesspug on the quilting
|
Your quilt top is stunning! I do agree that it does not need a lot of quilting in the braided/knot area but I would do some interesting quilting in the outer borders...maybe some celtic designs or McTavishing...what ever you do, it is a gorgeouse quilt!

Can't offer ideas on quilting,sorry, but you have done an outstanding job!! Your quilt is just stunning.

that is beautiful, great job

Wow! what a dramatic beautiful quilt. My tastes lately have been leaning towards the warm color palette of reds, oranges. Your red on black is just stunning. Combined with a celtic knot motif you do have a real winner there.
I agree that the fabrics and colors you chose do speak quite enough with out extras. So I would make the quilting subdued on this as well. I completely agree with Tesspug that some SID and duplicate the embroidered knots in your black border would look stunning. I would be half tempted to create narrow bias strips and hand applique them. Just beautiful. Please post a picture of this when it is finished. |
