Chocoholic Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I am doing this quilt with 12 " fabric squares on point. The design that the quilter really wanted is round. (It is a Japanese crest.) And I agree it looks great on block, but this leaves the little triangles of fabric, top, bottom and sides with no quilting in them. Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe just sid, but I hate to sid on my la, especially since her piecing doesn\'t always line up, but if I have to, I have to.

quiltmonkey Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Can you do CCs or linedancing in the triangles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocoholic Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Yes, I could do either of those, but I am not sure if it would look ok with the Japanese theme of the rest of the designs. I know there are lots of different kinds of line dancing, but most of what I have seen is rather whimsical looking. What do you think? I have done stippling in the background triangles in the other blocks, but the rest is all Japanese. (And yes, I know that stippling is not in style right now, but it does a great job of recessing the background and making the other fabric jump out and the background fabric is a small geometric print, gold and yellow and you really can\'t see the quilting.) Anyway, the large block that I was talking about is a Japanese crest stork, quite intricate and then there is another simplified Japanese crest stork in some smaller blocks. Kanji for the 4 winds in some smaller fabric squares and a chrysanthanum in some other fabric squares on point. I would take a picture for you, but dh has the camera and is gone.

Chocoholic Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 well, guess your ideas inspired me. I decided to do lines ( not perfectly straight), one down the center and one down each side of the triangle which I think make the triangle look sort of look like the a fan with the stitching being the ribs Thanks..

quiltmonkey Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 OK Good. I am really curious how it all looks, so when DH returns with the camera, please post some finished photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocoholic Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Well, he came back with the camera a few hours later, but I haven\'t finished the quilt yet, so when it is done, I\'ll post pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
