starbear Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Here are a some photos of the latest embroidery quilt I finished. It was a fun quilt and it just came together so well. I used Quilters Dream Wool to keep the texture. This quilt has inspired me to make the quilt for myself. thanks - star Gail O, Brenni, gardenslug and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starbear Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 How I decide on the stitching is a process... So here goes. I looked at all the embroidery in the center, and I knew I had to get around it easily. So my fills that I can manuver around intricate details are what I concider. Since I didn't want to busy or redundant I went the the mix of different ones, so I could use what ever would not compete with the embroidery. After I got started on the pieced blocks and the wreaths, I looked at the center, and I knew the feathers around the inside would look like a second border. I knew it would frame the center, and distract from the background fill, you would not really see the background quilting from a distance, you would see the beautiful embroidery my customer did. In hind sight I would make the feather in the center a bit smaller. I knew I was going to do wreaths, because that is why she gave me the quilt. I wanted to quilt flowers there... so I comprimised I threw a quick and easy flower in the center of wreath, and I ended up giving the wreath a little texture by putting a dence pebbel around the flower to separate from the wreath (this was an afterthought) but I like it better. I photographed it both ways so I could be sure I liked it (and was not looking forward to picking out dence filler if I didn't like it). And the quilting just melded, after I got going. It was one of those quilts that just came together. - thanks for asking (sorry for being so longwinded) HeidiP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibbyG Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I really like the flower in the middle of the wreath. That element really stands out among the rest of the beautiful quilting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
