meg Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 kenna - dawn ramirez covers it on her pajama quilter DVD. i use it as an allover on folky or masculine quilts. gives great texture. you can make the spaces as close together as you like...the trick is to keep it consistent. i also have stitched it out real tight and used it for an ipad case for dh. cushiony! and it's easy peasy to do.

WestieMom Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Sylvia, your dwirling looks terrific! It's on my list of things to try. Here's the link to Caroline's quilt with the dwirling technique. http://www.apqs.com/quiltboard/viewthread.php?tid=31590&page=1#pid405612 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinequilts Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yours looks great Sylvia! Isn't it fun? You can add swirls, bumps, 'fingers', whatever tickles your fancy at the time. And as Meg says - you can be close (like 1/4") and use it as a fill-in, or less dense for an all over pattern. I'm glad people are liking it.

Georgene Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I have a quilt waiting to be done using the Dwirling. It's a top made from different shades of blue with a white background and she wanted it to resemble water. So I showed her pictures of a couple I had done using the dwirling and that's what she wants. I love stitching it. Sylvia and Caroline, your dwirling looks great.

Sandra Darlington Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 It looks nice, Sylvia. I haven't tried it yet, but I have Dawn's DVD, so one of these days I will give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennan100 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Ireally like the way it looks. Thanks for the links! I have Dawn's 1st PJ DVD but haven't gotten the 2nd one. I know the 2nd one has a workbook with it. Anyone have that? What did you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Della Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I want to try this on a quilt that I willl soon be doing. Can you tell me how you get started? What kind of a line at the very beginning....I can't figure it out...lol I really like the way it looks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 della - you just make a wavy horizontal line with maybe a swirl or bump in it and echo, adding more swirls or bumps where ever you think they are needed for interest. when you get to the other side of the quilt, look at where you think a bump or swirl would fit nicely and then add it there when you proceed with the next echo. if i remember right, dawn starts right at the edge of the quilt on the dvd, but i could be wrong about that. i don't think it really matters anyway, as long as you keep the space between the echoed lines consistent. have fun - it's a very relaxing design to stitch out.

JustSewSimple Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Della, I start about 12" from the top edge of the quilt. That way I can get bumps and swirls and "fingers" pointed in both directions. First I stitch back towards the top edge and then I trail down the outside of the quilt and come back in towards the belly-bar side of the quilt. It is so fun and I don't think you can mess this up! I think the rule is to maintain the same distance throughout the quilt top but I think it would be fun to so some close together in a few places to give the eye even more places to land. Just have fun doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
