Della Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I am quilting an Orion Star quilt...looks like a log cabin with Ohio Star in the middle. Customer wanted STD which I am doing. The center star I am outlining with same STD and adding a simple four petal flower with curvey line from each petal to side of the square. There is sashing between each block where I am doing a coninuous leaf design. Question is this....Is that enough? Should I be putting something in the strips of the log cabin? I really don't think so but thought I should ask...lol Oh, the quilt is black and white so am using a monofiliment thread with black bobbin. Thanks in advance for you help...again.

Zora Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 You don't say how big the log cabin blocks are. That would make a difference as to whether the quilting you have planned will be enough. Personally, I would want to put something over the strips of the log cabin, but that depends on how many strips there are, and the size of the blocks.

Quilting Heidi Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I'm with lynn on the stitch or not to stitch. I would likely do at least SID to give it definition but love feathers over all the strips too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyLake Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I have seen some simple ideas for extra quilting on logs. Basically a straight or waving line 1/4" out from the long seam into the block itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
