lyonden Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I need to do custom quilting on this one. This customer does show her quilts. She wants "special quilting" on this one. Help please, just can't come up with anything. Looked on webshots and on Pams site but couldn't find any pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neher-in-law5 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Beautiful quilt, one of those "oooooooh!" ones. No ideas but will be fun to see what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Oh my goodness love that quilt. I will be interested to see what ideas everyone comes up with. There are a lot of possibilities with all those different quilting spaces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollyc Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 it seems to just beg for a formal curling feather motif in the background areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltmonkey Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Carol, knowing you and your amazing talent, I am sure this thing will become an eye-poppin' show-stoppin' jaw-droppin' beauty. You must share a finished photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagecl Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Carol It is a beautiful quilt. Nothing is popping into my head as for quilting ideas. Sorry, I am not much help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraSews Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Such a gorgeous quilt. Don't have a clue how to quilt it, but sure appreciate you posting about it. I had never checked Pam's website before. I found the pattern in her book "It's Not Just Another Cover-Up. " Your client's interpretation looks very different from the original--both very cool!

IBQLTN2 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 beautiful quilt.. between the blue and white squares you can see a 1/2 white and half blue circular area. how about a feathered wreath with crosshatching in the center in that area. Dont have a clue about the rest. but I am sure you will come up with something gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy Quilting Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I saw a circular Feathered wreath in the larger White and Blue Areas between the coloured tulips. Maybe put more plant texture type leaves over the tulip leaves and petals over the tulips even going out into some of the background with additonal stitched leaves and tulips to make bigger "bunches" of flowers. Better go back and check that picture again to see what else it is saying. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 This would be a hard decision for me--I know you are already working out the perfect designs! My first thought was to put a spray of tulips in the open areas in almost-matching thread, but the natural-looking tulips might clash with the more angular pieced flowers. Hmmmm--can't wait to see what magic you perform! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Knowing Carol...she is just about finished with the quilting on this one. Can't wait to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Can't wait to see it....its one of the pretty quilts of this year that is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgene Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Because of the angular design of the quilt, I agree that feathers or something rounded would work.....and maybe a little cross hatching as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyonden Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Mary Beth, I'll have you know I'm still staring at it!!!!!! I am forming some ideas. My question right now is regular feathers or the leaf feathers. The leaf feathers are more girly. or fancy looking. Whatcha think ladies? I do like the idea of some motif in the center with "curved crosshatch". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziesgirl Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Carol, You always do such a fantastic job that I am sure anything will be spectacular. Sorry I wish I could help with the creative juices but my brain is fried until after graduation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boni Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I realize this quilting is very simple, that's what the customer wanted. My thoughts were to let her piecing show and quilt to just hold the sandwich together. Yes, it's computer except for the SID around the ribbon in the border. Your quilt reminds me of this one.

Boni Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 It sounds like you will be quilting more dense than this, but simplicity can be pretty too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boni Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Please post as soon as you finish yours. I'd love to see your feathers and such. Maybe the next time I get one I will be able to do more too. Such a lovely quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyonden Posted May 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Bonnie - What a pretty quilt. You did a great job on that one. I also like to do minimal quilting on some quilts. This lady seems to like more dense quilting though. Sometimes it's not fun when they just hand you their quilt and they say-"Make it beautiful" Okie Dokie!!!!! I do have 2 ladies that are best friends and always do their quilts together. I get both of them with the order to make them sorta alike if I want. Same but different????? Oh well, I guess this is why we do this huh? I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing, aches and pains aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
