Quilting a Chevron pattern
Besides straight lines following the design what other quilting looks good on a Chevron? Ideas, suggestions welcomed.

I think echoing the lines would work best. That is what I do on my Bernina DSM.
|
I have only made one Chevron quilt, but I did echoing, so I second ManiacQuilter 2's suggestion. I had not tried echoing before but I liked it and was pleased with the results.

Most of them are done in straight lines but if you scroll down there are examples of other ways to quilt it. |
You could quilt different FMQ designs down each chevron or meander over the whole surface.

I've seen it quilted with wavy lines that roughly follow the pattern & that looks really nice, too.
Oh, I forgot, I've seen it quilted with bubbles, too. And depending on your fabric, you could maybe go with a leafy vine (or feathers -- like Katier's below) |

On these 2, I did feathers in the girl's one and on the boy's I did straight line in the colored section and an overall pattern in the white section.
There is a lot of inspiration on Google or Pinterest. [ATTACH=CONFIG]527350[/ATTACH] |

Thanks everyone. Since this is a guy's quilt I guess I will be learning to do ruler work on the long arm.

I didn't realize you were quilting on a long arm. I don't have one, but I have heard many long armers say that quilting straight lines was just not worth the trouble. I don't think it would have to be straight lines just because it was for a guy. (Of course, you are probably an expert and will figure it out quickly.) :)
