Boni Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I'm intrigued with the log cabin/sample blocks placement. What an innovative idea. I think I'll borrow that for my shop hop blocks. and your quilting is making me drool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I will share a scrollwork tutorial with my (5000) friends here!!:P:P I audition placement within areas on either Mylar or transparent paper--using a water-erase pen. When I am happy with things, I use school chalk on dark and a purple air-erase pen on light to mark the first few exactly. Once I get a feel for placement of the curls, I can lightly mark here and there to keep on track. This quilt was cream and brown--so I matched thread and stitched each side separately. Start in the corner of the LC block. Stitch one side of the scroll, backtrack to the start, and then the other--offset the backtrack for a ribbon effect--much more forgiving and graceful than a dead-on backtrack. You are back in the corner--stitch one side of the lozenge shape to the next corner. Scroll to the left, backtrack, scroll to the right, backtrack, stitch the teardrop, stitch the other side of the lozenge shape and you are back at the start. These are free-motioned and free-standing--that is, start and stop in one section and move to the next. You can make them as intricate as you want. Feather down one side to fill more space. Add another curl. Whatever pleases your heart and your eye. Thanks for liking the quilt! Now get to scrollin'!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenscratch Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Linda, What perfect timing. I did ask about a sampler because there is one coming up. My lady just gave me a barn raising to do. It is lovely pastel and dark batiks. She wanted feathers in the light and something else in the dark. I wonder how it would look to put the feathers in the light and your scrolly scrolls in the dark. Either that or scroll the whole thing. It is pretty, but large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleshoes Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Great way to set those blocks and I love the quilting. Feathers are nice, but not always what someone wants, so this is a fun and very nice alternative. I will be adding this to my sample folder.

Linda G. Craig Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Thank you, thank you! Great tutorial. I'm going to practice following your instructions this weekend. I have always loved scroll work but lack confidence and proper instruction. This will certainly help a great deal! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
