HFCQ Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Has anyone ever seen or quilted a double wedding ring quilt edge to edge? I have a customer that wants her done this way but I'm not sure if that quilt should be done this way. If you have seen or done one this way can you suggest a pattern.

Zora Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I think you need to do whatever the customer wants and can afford. I am not a panto quilter, but would choose one that goes with the character of the fabric and in a density the customer likes. Just because we think another choice would be better and the quilt would look better with custom does not mean your customer can afford it.

HFCQ Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 My customer wanted me to try to find a picture of one done with a panto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 While it doesn't seem to honor or value the piecing skills required, you certainly can quilt an overall on a DWR. If it's vintage and hand-pieced, you'll want to check for wear and open seams. Make repairs or mark spots where care should be taken. If it's new it's probably machine pieced and all you need to worry about is fullness. As for overall designs--the old stand-by, a meander (stipple) is fine. Medium-dense is a good idea. If the fabrics are more playful or whimsical, loops are fun and fast. If she wants a panto, an open feather design would be very nice. Use invisible thread (my choice for this type of request) or one that will blend on the background and the piecing. Try different grays/silvers if the background is white or very light. Seafoam green will work for a cool background, or a dusty pale pink if the background is warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
