Teaser 1 - in the future, you will see some of my quilting in print... done deal.... quilting completed!
Teaser 2 - I am collaborating with my good friend Kevin (blog - Kevin the Quilter) on an amazing quilt. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Even BeBe is excited.
Teaser 3 - I am collaborating with my good friend Lynn on a quilt. I am currently in the design stage and can't wait to start quilting.
But, what I can show you is the quilt I just took off BeBe. I've been asked how I figure out what design to put on a quilt, so here's some of the process I go thru. I usually hang the quilt top in sight so I can see it while finishing up the prior quilt. After it's in BeBe, I sometimes lay a plastic sheet over the top and draw out designs I might like. Sometimes good, sometimes so-so.

| No Quilting, just hanging out |

| So-So Ho-Hum |
 |
| Yes! Speaks to me! |
And then I quilt..
 |
| Yep, slightly smaller than 1/4" pebbles. Love the effect the Cross Hatching creates. |
 |
| Corner spirals. |
 |
| Finish out the corners. Wheww.. lots of pebbles, lots of lines and then some spirals. Piano Key borders. |
And Finally, the finished quilt. This quilt was so much fun to do. My version of Modern Quilting!
I hope you like this quilt as much as I do. And I promise to blog more often, if the grandkids allow!
Thanks for visiting my blog, Happy Quilting!
ANN! I LOVE your post about your designing process when quilting! And, this quilt is so awesome! All hail the quilting goddess!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and quilting! I know about grandkids keeping you busy!
ReplyDeleteYou may not have posted since July, but it was well worth the wait! I love what you did with that scrap quilt. I also appreciate that you shared your design process in deciding what works for you and what doesn't. You took a simple quilt and turned it into a super quilt. Thanks for sharing.
