Pepsi Girl Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I am totally stymied and frustrated!!! I have taken out all the stitches I can stand. I don't know how well you can see the star but it has a looping cc around the edge and another in the center with curved crosshatch in corners. But the Courthouse steps are making me crazy! I don't like anything I put on them. Can somebody help me? Thanks in Advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beverlyquilts Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Pepsi, I so feel your pain! Do you have a plexiglass panel for sampling? You can use a whiteboard marker on it to try ideas. Much easier to wipe off the marker than removing stitches. (Put blue painters tape around the edges so you don't mark on the actual quilt. ) Bev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Scrolls. Hoping you can see the triple curls in each section. https://www.flickr.com/photos/larech/15798056596/in/dateposted/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Take a look at the "Eye Candy" on The Quilted Pineapple website. She has some great ideas. Pinterest is a great resource too. I like the idea of feathers too. I saved your picture and tried to use it in Paint to draw and then repost....but seriously....who am I fooling....I can't draw. I can only see it in my own head. So frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qltnbe Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 My first thought was feathers, but I like the scroll idea, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepsi Girl Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Thank you for all the replies. I should have mention this is a no "feathers" quilt! I looked at the "eye candy" I will keep that bookmarked thank you. I like the scrolls it goes along with what I did on the star block. I love this forum everyone is so helpful! Thanks for your quick response! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie in Ok Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I can't tell from the pictures what you did in the dark courthouse steps. Could you tell me or perhaps take a picture of the back to show quilting ? Thanks it looks wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimerickson Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Pepsi: It looks like you're getting a lot of bearding on the back of your quilt. You might want to consider changing to a different type or brand of batting. I've started using Hobbs wool and my bearding problems are a thing of the past. Just a thought.
