Next up on my machine quilting table is a lovely Buggy Barn pattern quilt by a friend, Virginia:
Before I talk about my quilting plan, here are some close ups of the block pattern:
I love the whimsical feel of Buggy Barn patterns, so this will be a happy quilt to work on.
Next step is to pick the thread and also the quilting pattern. I promise to show you what I’m thinking, quilting design wise, but I first need to draw and email them to Virginia so she can have some input with her quilt. Keep watching! Hugs, Carla
PS: Ok, here’s the proposed quilting design options for this quilt- as indicated by the black lines:
Be sure to notice the numbers…any guess as to which number or elements she will chose?
Thread: I’m thinking I might go with either a lighter shade of thread for the light areas and a darker red for the dark parts. This will maintain the values and contrast in this quilt and just give it some lovely texture.
Stumble It!
i like #3…that is a beautiful quilt.
It’s a beautiful, fun quilt Carla. Have fun quilting it.
I am glad your Dad is doing better, that is pretty scary stuff….the quilt blocks are spetacular! You are soooo creative.
