Quilting dot to dot

The lady that made this quilt top did beautiful cross stitching and I had a grand time quilting dot to dot. I was glad I did not have to quilt in the cross stitching.

Wow, what a lot of work that was. It is beautiful and your quilting is wonderful. What do you mean by quilting dot to dot?

Very pretty! It looks like the hand quilting dot to dot covers the dots. Are they the kind that are supposed to wash out or are they permanent? This is the nicest example I've seen of those printed tops.

I have done a few of those styles - different motifs - but they had the dots to follow to do the quilting. It was nice because you don't have to mark the quilt. And each time mine washed out with no problem. I have some more squares in a box somewhere. I believe Herschnerr's still sells them, I found mine a little over 20 years ago back in Kanas as a store much like a Woolworths or TG&Y.

Stunning quilt!

Hand quilted? Wow beautiful.

nativetexan 01-17-2015 02:55 PM

they should wash out. Don't wash your blocks to pre-shrink them before finishing them though. Ask me how I know!

I remembered seeing a book a few years ago about that so I looked it up: http://www.amazon.com/Quilting-Dot-T.../dp/1574329022

There is also a youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_t5SOmOrng

and a Craftsy class with Angela Walters, some things on pinterest, etc. Just google Quilting Dot to Dot and you will find lots. That's where I am going back to right now. lol

you probably know by now by the other post on here, the quilt top is marked for quilting by little dots. You just quilt following the design the dots make. They do wash out. I only do hand quilting and these are really easy to do. I thank you all for the compliments.

kristijoy 01-17-2015 08:33 PM

Beautiful! I don't think I've seen that much cross-stitch on a quilt before. It's beautiful! And your quilting is lovely, it compliments it so nicely! Well done!

Grandma Peg 01-17-2015 08:54 PM

Gee....that was beautiful cross stitchery work, must have taken a long time to do. And your quilting really offset it by going around each ones. I have some I've done over the years when I had time or remember to do, I think I have two more blocks to do before its done but anyhow...thanks for showing us this beautiful quilt!!

That is awesome. I am working on one. I can't use a thimble so I can't work long before my fingers are sore and I have to rest them for a while...I will get it done one of these days..

Daleen 01-20-2015 05:49 PM

A beautiful quilt. You did a great job on the stitching!
