DSCN4445 by Valerie/Pumpkin Patch Quilter, on Flickr DSCN4447 by Valerie/Pumpkin Patch Quilter, on Flickr Super happy with how this is coming along!!

pumpkinpatchquilter Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Thank you all!!! Jeannie - some call it orange peel, continuous curve, cathedral windows...I'm not sure what it's truly called but I've heard it called many things! It's very simple to make and extremely effective! It's taken me a bit of practice to where I feel comfortable actually using it on a quilt/project though! LOL I created a crosshatch grid...and then in each square you bump all four inner and outer lines with a curve...and when you've done all the lines it creates the circular look...you can also mark the grid with removable ink and just quilt the curves...but I kind of like the cross hatch grid quilted in there too. I adore Cindy Needham's linen quilts...this is inspired by her...I thought I'd put some beading in there too! In the upper left corner, is that called orange peel? Whatever its called, how do you do it? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustSewSimple Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 You know, you are right! These are not nearly fancy enough. So....so you don't have to see this plain-ole work, just box them up and send them to me. I think they are stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmkeindl1 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Finished this one!! Two more to go...and then the backs...and I still haven't decided if they will be fancy or not...lol BEAUTIFUL! I haven't finished the back of some stockings I've made - the way mine hang on my fireplace, you can't see the back anyway? But you could maybe just do one of your cool backgrounds on the backs? Can't wait to see them finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
