To answer a question that did pop up, no I am not using Tipsy to quilt this one. I need to do a lot of practice before I will put a quilt top I have made on it. My LQS has some charity quilts that need quilted and the owner told me I could use them for my practice, so I hope to make a good dent in practice time on Tipsy and eventually quilt a quilt top I have made.
Using the walking foot on Miss Juki I decided to do echo quilting on the outside of the plate. On the inside I made a 10 point star/flower. I'm not 100% sold on the flower/star. I'm thinking I should continue the echo quilting to inside the plate, but at wider intervals. Maybe two rounds and then do something in the circle? I have no idea what I am going to do for the sashing yet. The echo quilting takes a long time, so I have time to think about what I want to do.
This is beautiful. I love this pattern and the colors are right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Maybe you could do echo quilting on the dresden as well...just keep going 1/4" inside each time around from the original 1/4" seam you did to sew the dresden to the background. I LOVE IT! I got my template, so maybe in the next 100 years, I will try one too!
ReplyDeletePretty. Your echoes are great!
ReplyDeleteThis is one beautiful quilt. I love the fabrics that you used in making this quilt. I love seeing different beautiful colors that really match together. Keep up the good work! :)
