I think part of the reason that this piece isn't quilted yet is that I'm not comfortable with the machine, so the doodling idea is one I need to tackle. I talked about doing that with some fabrics I bought a while ago but haven't gotten that done yet.Linda Augsburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106986840379611064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235243275416051810.post-63220484523459603662009-09-10T08:21:22.333-05:002009-09-10T08:21:22.333-05:00Here's what I do when I'm stuck for how to...Here's what I do when I'm stuck for how to quilt something, which is all the time! I take a photo of the quilt, print it in color, then overlay a transparency and start doodling with permanent marker on the tranparency. This lets me try out all sorts of designs quickly and easily. If I'm at a loss for images to include in my quilting, I print photos (my own or from the internet) of trees for example and use the transparency technique above to develop continuous line designs. One last suggestion - make a sample or warm up piece and just start doodling with the machine. Good luck - I know it's going to be beautiful!Quiltrobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406350480804667170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235243275416051810.post-33135610701661935802009-09-09T07:19:41.705-05:002009-09-09T07:19:41.705-05:00Thanks, Debra--great ideas!

I hope that will come with time--the way I "see" a piecing pattern before I even play with the graph paper. <br /><br />Robin and Eileen, I didn't end up in the sewing room after all this weekend, so no pattern yet! Soon, I hope...Linda Augsburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106986840379611064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235243275416051810.post-663177452391404422009-09-08T21:36:36.466-05:002009-09-08T21:36:36.466-05:00For dense quilting: do a meader stitch in the blac...For dense quilting: do a meader stitch in the black background to make the flowers pop, in the ditch for the inner border, and a nice leafy vine for the border.<br /><br />Too much for you in the center, freehand the shapes of the flowers with curving lines instead of the sharp linear lines of the piecing. A "wiggly" line down the stem and a loose "in the ditch" for the joining star. Do the rest the same.<br /><br />Both easy-peasy and exactly what a quilting mahcine can do well.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07504185070473121551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235243275416051810.post-11217090880142265352009-09-05T13:28:21.490-05:002009-09-05T13:28:21.490-05:00Oh gosh ... we've all been there, done that.
