Cheryll Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I moved 3 months ago and finally got a quilt loaded and now it's a total I don't know. I originally thought about a sort of geometric overall that I purchased but it just isn't speaking to me so I'm stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingupastorm Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I'll come over and play with it! I jsut love green. Is this one yours...........................if so then who cares how much time you put into it....................right. I would follow some of the larger geometric shapes and do some cool swirls, peakcocks and other fill in some of the more tone on tone areas. I love to just play with desin quilt has some great fabrics to play with. Do let us know what you end up doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrna Ficken Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Cheryll, You can start by putting the wavy lines from the border into the blocks going different directions in each block. Then put straight lines in the border. Or even wayy going across the waves. It would give a great effect. Myrna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Oh, that's very nice. It seems that lime green is really the number 1 color for 2006-2007. (I was thinking also about Sherry's quilt and Rhonda's quilt.) I like the wavy line quilting idea that Myrna suggested, too. I hope you will post a picture of it after you have quilted it so we can all see how it was transformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheryll Posted December 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 What do you think about thread color. I was thinking black. I also have neon green but I'm thinking it would be over powering. Cheryll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlene Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi, I, too,agree that the swirls, etc would like nice. I wouldn't quilt it with the lime green or black thread as you would lose the quilting in the blocks with the same colors as the thread. I would be bold and do something like neon pink. I never thought I would like that lime green with the pink, but recently did a quilt with those colors and loved it. Char Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Cheryll, Sorry to hear about your move....I hate to move. Cool quilt. Lime green is the 'new black' :cool: I really think that I would have some fun with this quilt - go geometric. Crazy go nuts with waves, swirls, spirals and some straight lines too. Really mix it up. My artwork is awful, but maybe it gives you an idea. <img src="http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n93/legcard/cheryll.jpg" border="0"> Thread: I think basic black would look very dramatic. Superior Highlights adds some sheen, maybe their Fresh Lime. YLI makes a great a really hot variegated with lime green called Kyoto Gardens. I just used it on butterfly panto - really added some dimension with the color changes. Or how about Superior Rainbows Shamrock which has 4 shades of green. And then there's Superior Brytes threads; one called Mermaid is limey and one called Gecko is a bit darker green. Be sure to post your finished quilt.
