LibbyG Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 You kill me. Just a little squiggle here and a line there, different backgrounds, etc. I'd be staring at this forever without a clue what to do. This is certainly going into my favorites for future reference, as all your quilts are. Beautiful job, Linda! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Originally posted by Joyce Ok Linda, I'm sure that i'm not the only one that wants directions for the braidy thing. Another great job. The batting was Fairfield poly--it didn't look that puffy until I started quilting! Here is a diagram of the "braidy thing". Very easy and forgiving--it would be wonderful done really small. It was easy because of the strips. Follow the seam doing fronds alternately. SID to the next seam, and remember to quilt the fronds going either all up or all down. Alternate the spacing so one frond points to the empty space next to it. Thanks for your wonderful comments--you are the best!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisquilter Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Wow! I love what you did in the stripes. What awesome texture. I had to look and look to figure out what you did. Boy does that look neat!. Thanks for sharing. I get so fixed in what I do on some quilts. It is so exciting to see a new idea that I can add to my list of go-to stitches.

kerileann Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Linda, I wanted to ask what your secret is for tracing those flowers in the fabric. Do you use Quilt Glide for this or is it just much practice? Any tricks you could divulge? -Keri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tricks you could divulge? -Keri Hi Keri, My machine doesn't have Quilt Glide, but I do have the Bliss rail system, which is remarkably smooth and makes the machine easy to steer. That said, the secret is to quilt slowly, watch ahead of the needle for where you are going, and use a blending-ish thread. We had originally decided on Metro bright shiny gold for all the quilting, but it was too bright and unforgiving for the outlining. I switched to a BottomLine dark gold color and was much happier. Another secret for tracing flowers that look good? Only show photos of the good parts!!:P:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerileann Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Thanks so much for the insight. I don't have a machine yet, but want to be able to do this kind of quilting. Do you use a SR much? Or do you prefer non-regulated? -Keri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
