Mari-Lee Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Customer's quilt is 2 x 2" multi print pastel blocks in irregular rows. Printed "cheater" blocks are irregularly spaced within the rows. ..some have 2 or three rows between panels some only have one row between the next panel. Has a real scrappy look. Any suggestions for a design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mari-Lee Posted August 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Here's a picture. I'm thinking a smaller all-over design. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybee Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hi An over all meandering would work and maybe duckies on edges. Since this looks like a baby quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April W Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I would probably outline the printed panels then do a freehand meander on the little squares; flowers, loops or something like baby bunnies or ducks. Let us know what YOU decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyL Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 When I get a quilt from a client, I try to give three quilting/pricing choices. For this one, I would give a choice of overall meander maybe using yellow or mint or even pastel variegated thread. Then I would give a panto price. Maybe daisy swirl? I love that panto and I see daisies on the quilt. And, I'd give a custom price. From what I can see in the picture, if I were to custom quilt this, I'd SID around the squares and shapes in the printed squares. Like on the one that says "flowers are sown by God", I'd stitch around the flowers and the angel and then stitch around her apron. Using white thread, I'd stipple the background. Is that a green duck? I'd outline his shape and SID around his wing, then stipple the background. In the borders around the blocks, maybe use a matching thread for each or the pastel variegated and do loops. In the outer borders, maybe use yellow thread and do free motion daisies?? Just my thoughts . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mari-Lee Posted October 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I took Judy's idea and SID around each printed panel and did custom stitching around the figures, flowers or wording. Then for an allover design I did a "Lazy X" through the 2" squares. Thanks for the ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
