pumpkinpatchquilter 1,269 Report post Posted November 22, 2015 This one was a bit of a head twister to quilt. I get a lot of quilts with copious amounts of negative space so I really had to think what would look nice on all those homespuns! These are the style of quilts that first drew me to quilting too, so it was really fun in the end to work this one up. Gives me ideas for a few tops in own pile... 20151122_110314 by Valerie Smith, on Flickr 20151122_110332 by Valerie Smith, on Flickr 20151122_110415 by Valerie Smith, on Flickr 20151122_110641 by Valerie Smith, on Flickr 20151122_110616 by Valerie Smith, on Flickr 7 GMALKB, Gail O, jandcembroidery and 4 others reacted to this Quote Valerie Smith Pumpkin Patch Quilter http://www.pumpkinpatchquilter.com http://www.pumpkinpatchquilter.etsy.com Pantograph Co-Designer for Urban Elementz https://www.urbanelementz.com/shop/category/quilting-designs-by-designer/valerie-smith/ **As of March 2015 I will be Quilting on a 2000 APQS Certified Used Millennium!** Quilting from January 2013 to February 2015 on a non-stitch regulated 1999 Ultimate 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pumpkinpatchquilter 1,269 Report post Posted November 23, 2015 Thank you!!! Carmen - I actually did quilt all the striped squares! LOL It's very hard to see it in photographs - you can see it on the back though. Just stripes/lines to go with the fabric print...nothing would have shown there had I done anything more so I kept it simple so that it wouldn't sag or look like I forgot them. Nice! I like that you left the striped squares unquilted to give interest to the quilting. Great job, as always!

Cagey 763 Report post Posted November 25, 2015 Valarie: Did you use the same colored thread on both top and bottom over the entire quilt? It sort of looks that way to me, but I wanted to ask. I have done different colors in the top and bottom of my DSM, but not on my George as of yet. I do not like it when the bottom thread color peeks through, and shows on the top.

pumpkinpatchquilter 1,269 Report post Posted November 25, 2015 Cagey, It is rare that I do not use the same thread in the top and bobbin - if I do not, I generally use something very close so I don't get any of that accidental show. In this case I used So Fine in an Ivory shade on top and Omni in a Khaki shade on the bottom. Luckily, my tension stayed nice throughout and I didn't get any "whoops" moments.

LibbyG 1,018 Report post Posted November 25, 2015 I love seeing your work because I always get such great ideas. First, I love the quilting in the applique. I always have trouble trying to decide how to quilt trees. Then the leaves are so perfect. I thought you had to enter and exit in the exact same place on all sashing strips, but you didn't and it didn't effect the quilting. Then the x's are so beautiful. Another great job!
