Three leaves or four leaves? Not as momentous a decision as picking our next president, but Ababsurdo.com has already covered that one. So which do you like better?
I’m trying to decide on a quilting pattern for this little quilt. It looks like the leaves will be appliqued, but actually I’m going to quilt the outline of the fern leaves. The photos look unfocused because the leaves are on top of the Golden Threads Quilting Paper. You can draw your design on the paper, pin it to the quilt, sew along the lines, then tear away the paper.
P.S. Mark thought I looked pretty funny, standing on the dining room chair, looking down to take these pictures. Good thing I had the camera!
I like four. Four does a good job of filling the outside space, but I like that three doesn’t have as much empty space in the middle.
Why not use a combination of both
or you could arrange them in a sort of free flowing random way. Not sure if that made sense and can’t elaborate too much typing on my phone.
and you could even overlap some of them if it fits in with the quilt.
I like the idea to combine them somehow. But that might depend on your larger project. It would give the eye something to play with, like the tile pattern in the 111 Crest floor bathroom.
I have some more ideas to play with, if I’m not dead after today’s bike ride. Training will finish this weekend, b/c next weekend is the MS150. “Start to Finish MS”. See the previous post for links to donate. Thanks for you input on the quilt!
Jay, I’m not remembering the tile pattern at Crest. What was it like?
