I have a question about my quilting I just finished yesterday. I do not like the very large meander I placed in the two outer border areas. I am happy with the small meander I used around all the applique. Can I remove the large meander only and quilt something else?
This pattern is called Poinsettia Wreaths from the McCalls December, '05 issue. Thanks so much! Nancy |
You can always remove stitches. But just how many hours are you willing to put into stitch removal? I think it's beautiful as is. If you want more stitching maybe echo the large meander making a double ribbon type effect?

You are talking alot of work I agree w/Candace do a double row.It looks great your lines are good. Why change a beautiful quilt unless you really don't like it???
|
Yes you can take the stitches out and re-pin and re-quilt the quilt..but I think I agree with Candace just make it a ribbon.
|
Agree with all of the above. Your quilt is beautiful as is and taking out stitches is not fun

Thank you all! I do like the ribbon idea and I didn't think of it. So glad I made this post.
The reason I wanted to remove just the outer large meander is because it's only a 50 inch square quilt. It looks much bigger in the pictures. I am liking the idea of the ribbon. It wouldn't take long either but I won't use the quilt until December. lol This is why I love the QB. All of you are wonderful! Nancy |
Oh my goodness, what don't you like about the large meandering pattern? I think it's beautiful. Of course, I'm not a longarmer, but I do have eyes and what a pretty quilt with pretty quilting.
