Do I Have Enough Pins?

 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. 


The squares might get a diagonal grid 

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.




Yet another pinned string quilt is hanging on the rack.

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!
