The pinned pile is getting bigger!
I have to admit it is a great feeling to
have a nice bunch of layered quilts
waiting for the needle. Now the
challenge will be to choose quilting patterns
Continuous patterns make the process
smoother so I will pull out my two
favorite reference books to help
in the search.
I like a vine pattern,
but I have to be careful because
they tend to take on a coffee bean shape
toward the end of the top!
A clamshell would be nice on the
two filmstrip edged quilts and the
back and forth of the form will keep the
top moving.
The thousand pyramids will get
a diagonal pattern to emphasize the
beautiful triangle piecing.
for the center section and a stitch in the ditch
square grid for the colorful border.
Spirals reminiscent of a nautilus shell would
work on the Sea Glass quilt. I didn't
realize I had so many options in mind!
The hopscotch & twin 8s & 10s re good for
an all over design.
There a few pieces left of this style quilt so I'll have to
Have a sewing night to finish it up.
This one might get a different style from the other two quilts.
I'm thinking the Great Big Sea or some gentle ocean waves.
I do love continuous line quilting.
The last on the pinned rack,
is a row by row from a past sewing group.
It will just get some shadow quilting around
each item in the rows done by the members.
It should be a great memento.
Finally, here is a picture of the quilt rack right now.
It looks amazing and so tidy!
I can't wait to get into the quilting!
Stay safe and Sew on!

ReplyDeleteYou really have a lot of quilting to do, Deb! I look forward to seeing your progress on these! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
ReplyDeleteYou have your work cut out for you!
ReplyDeleteDeb that is a pretty display and it’ll be even prettier when you get the bindings on and they are ready to be re-homed. Thank you for sharing on To Do Tuesday 😁 Carol
ReplyDeleteYou have some great ideas for the quilting on each. You'll have a lot of finishes once you get all those finished.
ReplyDeleteIt's great when you can think of the quilting motif you want to use, because that's often where I get stuck and my momentum slows. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss. https://www.inquiringquilter.com/questions/2025/09/10/wednesday-wait-loss-449
ReplyDeleteOoooh, your quilt rack looks fabulous, so many lovely projects ready to be quilted! It's great that you have already chosen the quilting patterns, and they seem like the perfect choices. I'm not good with clamshell shapes, they often end up crooked ;) Thank you for sharing your quilting prep and linking up.
