Janice Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I have a French braid quilt I just finished making. I Don't know how to quilt it. I would like it custom. I saw a picture that I liked somewhere but I can't find it now. I could use some of your expert advice. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyAboutQuilting Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Janice, can you post a picture or two of it so that we can get some quilting ideas for you? For me, I can't really think of ideas on how to quilt a top until I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiltsinmotion Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Janice I really enjoyed making and quilting a couple of Fr Braids , you can put a feather up the braids using the seam for the spine , maybe cc's all up the sqs . I loaded the quilt sideways less stops and starts choose a fun flower all over design have fun post photos when done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaii Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Very pretty, Patty. Those molar feathers look like butterfly wings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lib Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Patty, I just love those feathers. They made the quilt reversable. Lib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I did one that was super busy and originally I was going to do custom on it but decided that it would be a lot of expense and not a lot of show so I did a panto. It came out great and even got a ribbon at a local show so all was good. I was actually pleasantly surprised. I like what Patty did on hers.
