My June Lovely Year of Finishes goal: machine quilt this polka dot log cabin quilt.
I could probably fill out the year's goals with quilt tops that need to be machine quilted, but then I'd burn out! We'll start with this one and see how it goes.
I have a couple ideas as to how i want to quilt it: possibly one large spiral design, possibly diagonal straight lines (though I'd like to branch out from straight lines!).
Since there's, ahem, so much going on in the fabric of this quilt, I don't have to worry about the quilting standing out like it might on a quilt made from solids!
If you have a suggestion on how I should quilt it, let me know!
I have no idea on how to machine quilt this beauty. But I just had to say: It looks amazing already. What a magnificent quilt!
ReplyDeleteNot sure, but perhaps a spiral in each square?
ReplyDeleteLike Ann's idea of a spiral in each square. Seems like it would be manageable than one big spiral - of course I am not yet a machine quilter so what do I know:)
ReplyDeleteI have a quilt like this, and I thought of quilting a spiral or labyrint in each square. Your quilt is so beautiful with the polka dots in the middle.
ReplyDeleteThe big spiral sounds like a great idea, in keeping with the dots everywhere else. I've never tried a big spiral, but I love the look it gives! Any way you quilt this, it will be a fun finish!
ReplyDeleteHave never seen a spiral or a polka dot for that matter that didn't look great together!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Oh I can't wait to see this done :)
ReplyDeleteYou could make it a sampler and do something different in each block....
