Lu Ann Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I have looked everywhere as to how to quilt a "Grandmother's Garden" quilt. It is English paper-pieced with ALL hexagon shapes. No blocks per say. I don't know how to do pantographs yet. My best stitching is a feather meander with crescents and swirls. Is there any other ideas that would do this masterpiece quilt justice?? Any thoughts appreciated. Lu Ann the Newbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Lu Ann, I have a customer that is finishing up one and wants me to quilt it. I've been checking to find a design that would do it justice. I'm thinking that a feather meander in the areas surrounding the flower and then cc's in all the shapes. Let me know if you find anything special! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I have posted this numerous times, so those of you who have seen it, please forgive me!! This was a vintage 1930s GFG--the centers are continuous from the center out. The leafy shapes in the background are also continuous from one side to the other. Then you start at the opposite side and go all the way back. If you would like a diagram of the pathways, email me your address and I will mail you a copy. I hope this is inspiration for you.
