Putting a New Skill to Use
Much of the quilting is easy walking foot SID or Organic Wavy Lines which I can program my machine to do so all I have to do is sew straight and the lines come out wavy. For the corner assemblies, I think this will work well.
For the medallion portion, I'm quilting spirals in the circles and squares in the Economy blocks. There was a method to my madness of learning to quilt spirals on the Paddingtom Bear baby quilt last week; I knew I would need a spiral motif for this quilt.
Simple stippling for the background, to flatten it and let the green areas pop.
I may come back and add more wavy lines in the corner areas; the quilting is less dense there than everywhere else. We'll see when I get it the whole thing quilted if it needs any more.
Looking good!!!!!! I need to get over my fear of Sophie & I having problems and start QUILTING....you and Julie are improving by leaps and bounds and it's inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI never would have known that quilted your first spirals only last week!! You are a natural. Your Goodnight, Darlene! quilt is going to be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBest advice Chris gave me when I started was "just keep stitching" -- you are doing great!!!
ReplyDeleteVery smart to practice on the Paddington first! I like your methodic madness :)
ReplyDeleteJan, just got back on the computer and catching up on some blog reading. I really like your GND quilt colors. Your quilting looks so good. Better than on the original. I should have practiced first on a Paddington first, but because of a timeline it wasn't possible. You are really doing great on your quilting journey.
