Machine Quilting Negative Space »

Instructions

Quilt block came from:
Modern Blocks by Susanne Woods

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Casual


Materials

Kona Cottons

What was your inspiration?

The dotted fabric I used for the backing and binding

What are you most proud of?

I think the machine quilting came out well. I used the pebble/ dots pattern from the class and the leaf/ flame pattern along with stitch in the ditch and channel quilting.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

This is a small, sample piece (only 14" wide) and it would be easier I think to work a little larger when moving around the pebble shapes. I did not have much to hold on to as I maneuvered the cloth.

Thanks for your kind comment. I quilted it all by machine. I do use a special walking foot for stitch in the ditch.

This has a really nice "retro" look, with its straight lines and your choice of colours. You are obviously a very artistic person.
