DoryJM Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 This quilt has me totally stumped! I was originally thinking QZ in the circles, but some of them are not large enough. Then I was thinking feathers around the smaller ones and still QZ in others? Please, if you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busy Quilting Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Square spirals or just the spiral boards if she wants all over. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail O Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Make the circles into flowers - daisies, roses. g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granola Girl Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I like the idea of modern. Switching between circle swirls & something geometric or the same idea for the squares. Pics, pics when completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zora Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I think you could do QZ spiro motifs in the plain squares...the same motif in both large red and large polka-dot blocks. If you can size the motif down and put the same one in all the small plain blocks, you could do that...or use a different spiro in the small blocks. In the blocks with the circles in them, you could just cross-hatch the whole block, corner to corner, right over the circles. I don't see feathers on this quilt, but that's just me. Borders...not sure. Maybe beadboard across the two borders as if they were one unit. Crosshatch in the corner squares. To me, this quilt looks graphic, and spiros would go well with it. I guess it depends on the level of qulting she wants. If she will pay for custom, that's what I'd do. An overall isn't going to do much for this quilt, since there isn't much to the quilt to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Dory, I think spriographs in the circles and then add in some straight lines to frame things and then fill with feathers. I think you need straight lines to the design. You could do just 1/2" lines or cross hatching, just do it in strategic places. make sure you post finished pictures!

DoryJM Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Thanks for the ideas, everyone. I'm leaning toward the more geometric at this point, after having thought about it all day long! Still thinking...can you see the smoke???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Yes, this one has lots of possibilites....I am thinking geometric too.....combinations of swirls and angles with straight lines....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniemueller Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 This is one of my favorites. It's spiral circles randomly placed, different sizes and overlapping. In between the circles are straight lines, also randomly directed horizontal or vertical. I can see it, or a variation of it, on your red top. It was a ton of starts and stops, but worth the effort.

Pennyquilts Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 WOW Annie that was a lot of work, but it looks great. Dory, that is about what I was going to suggest, put some circles in the squares, and straight line the circles, keeping a geometric pattern. Good luck can't wait to see it done.

Myrna Ficken Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 How about concentric circles in the dotted squares and radiating lines in the red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
