This is a wall hanging for my almost 2 year old daughter. She loves fairies and birds, so i wanted to do something interesting for her. She loves the color purple too, so I found some tone on tone purples and came up with this idea. Now that the top is done with fusible applique and some lace (my lovely DD is such a girly girl) I have no idea how to quilt it. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks! |
That is really pretty - maybe "in the ditch" around the girl - after that - no idea
|
I would quilt in the veins on the leaves and on the feathers, outline 3 times for all of the figures and then do either a meandering or a feather stitch. I would do something unexpected like a double diamond design in the borders.
Lovely, most important is to have fun with it |
Such a beautiful wall hanging!
Whatever you do, keep it really simple, to emphasize the etherial feel of the picture. |
What about something that resembles the wind. With the birds flying and her hair having movement, it reminds me of a nice breeze.
Oh just by the way, it's beautiful!!! :thumbup: |
Beautiful

That is beautiful, I have no idea on the quilting though. My DD is a girly girly girl too...the child practically bleeds glitter. Lord knows where she gets it from...certainly not me.
|
Oh, that is so nice. How about outline on the leaves and birds, the something "flowing" on the background to simulate a light breeze. Perhaps leaves in the border.

This is beautiful! I would print out several copies of a picture of it and start doodling to see what looks best. Also try checking out Leah Day's FMQ website for ideas.

I would quilt it with a lavender thread that gets lost in the background. I would quilt a hummingbird in the upper right corner, quilt around the leaves and the other two hummingbirds, then a little whispy meander to fill in.. not really tight meander, just loose and whispy.
