I'm playing with quilting designs for Night Flight. First, I picked out the threads. Mmm, yummy! Yep, I'm going to mix it up with different thread weights and brands. I'm such a badass.
Next, I tried some different motifs with dry erase markers on my plexiglass trial quilting sheets.
First up, matchstick quilting with triangular spirals.
That's a lot of starts and stops.
Arrow spirals. I like that flow a lot better and somewhat fewer stops and starts.
Maybe something different in the negative space though, like this maze.
Or maybe a smaller version.
And then I decided to play with the walking foot quilting style I learned from Heather Lair.
I'm definitely smitten with one of them. Can you guess which one?
Have an awesome day!
Of course, it will be the last one! Question, though, I can't remember the size of this. Will it be a wall hanging, a crib size, a lap quilt? I would just make sure the density of the quilting matches its intended use... I like the idea of breaking up the negative space by different patterns.
ReplyDeleteoh yes,,,the last one M-R
ReplyDeleteBooYahh...Hell yes that's a winner:) Love it!!
ReplyDeletethe last one looks great. I didn't know Heather Lair taught machine quilting.I took a postcard and bag class from her once. Her passing was a big loss to us all.
ReplyDeleteWonderful design! You will certainly have a show stopping design!
ReplyDeleteToo hard to decide. Whichever you choose, I will fall head over heels for!
