Connie Kelsey Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hi Everyone, I am new to the forum and thought I'd like a little help with ideas for quilting my Bella Bella Venice Rose quilt. I am nearing completion and haven't a clue where to go on this very complex quilt. Pantograph just won't do. Any advice will be appreciated. Hugs, Connie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcck00 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Connie, Welcome to the forum! I am not familiar with that quilt... do you have any pictures? It's easier to give ideas when there are pictures, and we all are very visually-oriented (addicted to pics!!!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hi Connie and welcome! First off--you have posted in a kind of obsure place for this question. You are in the FAQ section. A better place is to access the "Chat about anything" topic while logged on and simply click on Topic. This will allow you to post a new topic and get lots of feedback. If you are asking about ideas for quilting a top, it is best to post a photo or direct us to webshots or a website with a picture of the top. Believe me, this group if full of talent and not afraid to share it!! Now, if I haven't scared you off (sorry-just trying to help:):)) I Googled this top and was sent to Norah's website. OMG--if you pieced that gorgeous thing, I am in awe! It is stunning! In spite of the fact that most longarmers like to "quilt it prettier"--(you know, it looks better after quilting than before) my opinion is that that particular quilt needs to be all SID. Sometimes quilting over the piecing does a dis-service to the piece. There, I said it!! Now I will be drummed out of the Longarmer's Club!! Thanks for sharing and I hope you get some more responses.

Constance Kelsey Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Thanks for your reply Cathy. For some reason I can't get me digital camera to work, is there any way I can talk you into googling Bella Bella Venice Rose McMeeking? I am sorry for this dilema but would so much love to hear your thoughts on this very complex pattern. Connie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constance Kelsey Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Cathy, Wonderful advice for this mixed up newbie. The piecing really isn't as hard as it looks. Yes, I agree, I just want to quilt it to 'let the piecing shine' on its own. Save the fabulous quilting for another project. Thanks and I expect you'll see my future posts in the right place.
