lindasewsit Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Oh LINDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo neat!!! I love what you did with the diamonds!! You just draw them on and do the lines continously (quilting the "line " of the diamond as you move around the diamond? The whole quilt is just beautiful! Do you have more closeups? Would love to see them if you do!!! linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted November 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Thank you for your "atta-girls"--you all mean so much to me! Here is a close-up of the diamond quilting for those who asked. I marked the diamonds and then stitched up to the marked line with close parallel lines--sneaked through the center, quilted the other side and sneaked down the ditch to the next diamond. Stitching this way nailed down both ditches, so no SID for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted November 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I learned this design in a class at Innovations from Kim Stotsenberg and I love it! I won't diagram it out of respect for her work, but I will suggest that you proceed much like hooked feathers--one feather just touches the previous one--so you work bottom up. Only mark the spine because if you stitch it it becomes too thready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustSewSimple Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Linda, what did you do on each side of your curlieQ feathers? Can we see that or can you draw it? You know if love what you do!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi Sylvia--one side was the soft diamond border. The other border is an up/down C'c which was my customer's request as she saw it on another quilt when she dropped hers off. I wanted piano keys, but what do I know!!
