LibbyG Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 This was for a first time customer. She started this quilt 8 years ago as a new quilter and wanted it quilted the same way as it was in the picture. I added the 1/4 inch lines because they looked nicer. Linda Rech gave me a great tip on thread choice. The last pink/green quilt I did, I used a matching green. When I did straight lines through the green and pink, I didn't like the green on the pink. Linda suggested I lay out some neutrals and choose a color that blends well with both. So I used BL taupe for the SID. The rest of the colors were So Fine. She wanted Dream puff for the batting. It took a blue ribbon in her local guild and those members voted it the quilt they liked best.

Luz2Quilt Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Outstanding! No wonder you won a ribbon for the quilting! Your quilting enhanced (showcased) the star. The feathers are a beautiful contrast to the straight lines. Very well executed. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibbyG Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Thank you for the beautiful comments. I really rely on the wonderful quilters on this forum for inspiration. Debbie, you can copy any idea you see that I quilt. I've probably copied it from someone else. I think this is basically the way it was done on the pattern, because the customer requested it this way. I just added the 1/4 inch away because it looked more finished.
