Beverlyquilts Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 This is a picture (I hope ) of my next quilt to go on my Millie. I'm stumped about what I should quilt in the "sashing" around the basket blocks. The customer would like feathers, but I'm thinking that the scale would be off. (Hope that makes sense.)

Neher-in-law5 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 I'm not sure but can you do cc or tt in the sashing triangles and feathers in beside the baskets and maybe in the center of the handles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanbrug Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Shannon had a similiar basket quilt posted on 2-15-11 that might give you some ideas. I don't know how to find the thread I had it saved into my favorites. She did feathers in the basket and a cc in the sashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltfarm Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 cc - Continuous Curve? tt - could someone tell me what that is please? (probably something really obvious, but I just can't think what it could be:)). What about, Line Dancing around inside the large coloured triangles, the type with a swirl in each line making a bit of a design on each triangle, don't know if that's a good description. Great quilt though. Good luck with the quilting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neher-in-law5 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Judy, yes, you have it right with cc, tt would be Terry Twist, similar process but the shape is more of a half heart going around the square/triangle instead of a half melon used on the cc. I think line dancing is another similar design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlhdesigns Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 You could do a feather in each triangle, it would take you longer but that would look nice.... or treat each triangle as a block and quilt a loopy feather. You could take a photo of the quilt, print it out ( I usually print an 8 x 10 ) and draw in the triangles and see what design you like best. How big are the triangles???? or block??? What are you using for a quilt design in the basket block?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beverlyquilts Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks for all the suggestions. The basket block-I'm thinking of curved cross hatching the basket (because I just bought rulers and am anxious to try them), a flower in the space under the handle, cc the triangles and meander the remaining space. The basket blocks are 10 " square, the sashing 5" wide. (No wonder I'm having a problem with the scale!) Bev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
