Spring Tulips Wallhanging
 
1 Attachment(s)
Just finished up this wallhanging for my boss who loves tulips. I hope she likes it! It's my first time doing any machine quilting and I wasn't too sure about the wavy matchstick quilting until it was all finished and ironed. Now I think I like it. :-)

P.S. The tulips are paper-pieced and although nothing special, still an original design. I used Quilt Assistant to help me make the paper-piecing templates...it's a wonderful tool!

Perfect! A refreshing pop of Spring. Like the 3- effect.

Your boss is sure to love it; it just makes you happy to look at it! And I love your quilting. That just sets off everything perfectly. Great job!

What is Quilt Assistant?
I know it is a software program but how does it work?

Moonglow 03-31-2014 03:49 AM

Very nicely done. Tulips are my favourite flowers.

PaperPrincess 03-31-2014 04:11 AM

Really nice! The quilting really enhances the design.

Quilt Assistant is an open source (i.e. free) program that helps you convert your own drawings into paper-piecing templates or helps you make paper-pieced designs from photos or other graphics. If you search for it in your search engine you can find the program and the guy who made it also has done some nice tutorials describing how to use it.

(disclaimer: I'm *not* associated with Quilt Assistant in any way, just think it's a super useful tool for paper-piecing! I'm not sure of the quilting board's link rules, so I haven't linked here to the program's website or tutorial on how to use it.)

Thank you for posting. Your quilting is wonderful and really makes your tulips pop!

I am a fan of paper piecing and did not know about the software. Thanks. I often have photos or draw something I would like to paper piece.

Can't wait to see what you quilt next.:)

PS: it is ok to post a direct link as long as you are not affiliated with it, as you stated.

Thanks for replying.
I did not know about QA. It does seem like a useful tool.
I googled it and now have the webite bookmarked. Tomorrow, I will check it out more thoroughly.
Thanks again.

Aww, thanks. Sending you a PM about the pattern. :-) If anyone else wants it too (of course free), just send me a PM!

This is such a wonderful promise of spring- love your flowers and blue skies. (My daffodils got snowed on last week, but they are persisting, and more are on the way.) Your fmq also is quite nice. Happy spring.
