This is my sister-n-law Kim's little quilt.
I really enjoyed quilting this up. At first I was going to do an overall design, but am glad I didn't. It think it needed custom quilting to help show off the design.
I did continuous curve for the center piecing....some of my favorite....oblong pebbles and for the piano key quilting, I used her piecing as a reference as to how far apart I stitch the straight lines.
I sometimes have a difficult time deciding what to quilt in the corner squares. For this quilt I quilted a grid by using the piecing as a reference and then did continuous line quilting around the grid.
I stitch in the ditch around the blocks and corner blocks only.
I used two layers of batting. Warm and white on the bottom and wool on the top. I wanted the quilting to really stand out and by putting the wool on the top it did just that.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, the line work is so straight, do you use a ruler with your longarm?
ReplyDeleteYes...it's about a 3 1/2" x 7" ruler. I use it all the time, my favorite.
DeleteLovely! I too struggle with design ideas for plain square blocks, I like what you did.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful!
