Little House Creations Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 My customer doesn't want this "over quilted" . . . I look at it and just see a blank page. Any suggestions??? I put this up here about a month ago, and just delivered the quilt last week. I decided to SID around all those brown sashings; watery meander in the gold area; meander and outline in the wolf pictures with invisifil thread, and curved lines in the borders (thanks Kathy at Tamarack Shack for the tutorial on that!). The customer made the quilt for her husband, and he was over the top pleased!!! Once the quilting was finished, the centre wolf almost looks 3D - like his nose is sticking right out of the quilt! This quilt had wool batting, so nice for texture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qltnbe Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 A masculine type panto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 LHC: I say copy the brown paw prints in the black areas, walking them around the quilt counter clockwise. To make your life easier, I would not break thread between the four toes and the center pad, but have a line from each toe to the center pad. Then a straight line to the next paw print. Followed by an echo line around the paw print and the line connect each one to fill the space. In the inner foliage area, from each corner to the center a leaf print with veins in each leaf. Maybe a large maple leaf. SID around the dark inner brown sections. Then a wide echo to follow the contour of the brown line around the outer picture area. Crosshatch the yellow brown areas. Followed by minimal quilting in the center wolf areas. Maybe some meander with invisible thread to not take away from the image. Cagey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlsa3 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 No suggestions....I just want to see it when you finish it. I love this. Would love to have one like it for my camper. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchanted Quilting Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Cagey had some great ideas. A black walnut thread (or similar) to do the paw prints would be great. Good luck with this...looks like it is very well pieced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little House Creations Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 It is VERY well pieced! She is an excellent quilter, teacher, and judge - so I want to do this up right! Thanks for all the suggestions . . . and, David, you can purchase this quilt as a kit from Rushin' quilting (or something like that) in Skagway, Alaska.

jacq1013 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 i did a deer panel similar to this coloring. i used an all-over oak leaf in a grey thread that blended in both the dark and the light areas, and really did not disrupt the piece in any way but would appear and disappear at random. turned out really good, was easy enough, and the client loved it.

s.waits Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Jacq1013, I really like that oak leaf pattern you used on the deer panel. Is that freehand or a panto? If it's a panto, do you know the name of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacq1013 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Sharon-its an awesome one, very versatile, and really fills the space, from urban elementz...Harvest Winds. https://www.urbanelementz.com/shop/search/?csrfmiddlewaretoken=F2RW7a49EaGfzh16LKbWLOlEiP8KHc8g&keywords=harvest+winds?csrfmiddlewaretoken=F2RW7a49EaGfzh16LKbWLOlEiP8KHc8g&keywords=harvest+winds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I would just SID and then do a very light meander around the major features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
