Longarm

Hi everyone, I am looking for quilting ideas for a Lady of Lake pattern quilt.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Here are some I have already rejected - 1. meander, 2. in the ditch, 3. outline.

I am thinking of a block pattern that would enhance the pieceing, but don't know
what.

Thanks for any ideas/suggestions.

for those, like myself, who don't know the block, here is a link http://www.mccallsquilting.com/qb/pa...502/index.html
for the quilting design - how about some corner designs with one in each half square. here is a link to some stencils http://quiltingstencils.com/continuouslinecorners.aspx

I'm going to watch this one for ideas, too. I'm finishing up a Lady of the Lake BOM in a couple of months and I would like to figure out how to quilt mine, too. I'd like to use an era-appropriate pattern, as well.

This is the layout I'm thinking of, but it shows the Lady of the Lake block for people who might not know it by name. I would love to see what layout you're using, too.

That's interesting.... this block is different from the one I have. Which block is in your quilt, Longarm?

I like your idea of putting a corner design into each "half" of the large square - like a mirror image, right?

Gorgeous quilt ... I have never seen one with the squares on point ... wow!

about.com has the Lady of the Lake block and instructions on their website for several years. I would probably just do a large FMQ, mostly all I do.

Here's an example of how one person quilted a quilt that was partially made up of Lady of the Lake blocks. I think she did a beautiful job - http://www.kathykwylie.com/blog/2011...quilts-part-1/

Thanks for the McCalls link. Like you, I didn't know the block name either.

Thanks for the stencil link, I have it bookmarked as I am always looking for new hand quilting ideas.

corner feathers..rosebuds..leaf designs.. kind of depends on the colors and how much you want the quilting to show case the overall look! I am doing free hand designs ... resembles line drawing.. so much fun to draw and write with thread on a quilt...
