Most of the pins are definitely aspirational at this point. If I want to stick to my self-imposed deadline on the first jelly roll quilt at least, I'll need to tame my Big Quilting Ideas. I would like to incorporate a couple of new to me quilting design elements in this quilt though.
Here are some ideas I've been doodling.
Um, I know. It kind of looks like a preschooler did this, but I was using a laptop mousepad in Microsoft Paint on a Friday night, so cut me some slack, mmkay? You get the idea anyways, right?
How do you decide what designs best fit a quilt? Does it depend on your mood? Your timeline? Your comfort level with a design?
Most of the time, my timeline determines how I quilt a top. Unfortunately! I'd love to have time to experiment with interesting designs - and yours look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThose designs look great on your quilt. My free motion stinks, so I usually do wavy lines or straight ones. The machine quilter gets my big ones and I am never disappointed : )
ReplyDeleteAs much as I wish it depended on my mood or what I think the quilt is 'calling' for, right now it depends more on my skills. I have two quilts right now that are ready for quilting, I know what I want to do for the quilting but my skills aren't there yet. I *am* practicing though, so someday!
ReplyDeleteGood idea! I am always saving ideas.
ReplyDeleteWhen deciding on a handquilted design, I did...curvy quilting with geometric piecing and visa-versa.
ReplyDeleteBut on the longarm...all I can do right now is loopeez-up and loopeez down. So, it's curvy with everything. =P
Wow...cool to be able to draw like you did on the picture!
