    Default Quilting Ideas?

    I'm to the stage of quilting the top of an Irish Spring quilt. I need an idea of a design to use other that stippling. Anyone??

    Do you have a picture? I'm not familiar with that quilt. The only suggestions I can give without seeing it is SITD or cross hatching.

    turena65 and mary3100 like this.


    God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    The stash to make a quilt to help me cope,
    A quilt to give to comfort those I love in times of hurt, fear and uncertainty.
    And the courage to keep on sewing when life itself seems held together by a single thread of hope.

    Leah Day's blog - over 400 designs. She has a short video showing you how to do them - only last about a minute I think, but very interesting.

    Thank you. It is nice to see another Irish chain with that area designed.

    Everybody's quilting is so beautiful!

    Jean - your flowers remind me of Ann Petersen's Continuous Line Quilting over at Craftsy. She taught how to do a flower like that.

    In addition to the pretty flower quilting, I suggest diagonal quilting first through all the little squares to anchor the quilt down.
