QUILTING IDEAS

I have a few ideas for quilting for you. The first is what I used on my version of ‘After The Rain’ that was accepted into QuiltCon, and it speaks to the meaning behind the quilt. 

It is a pantograph called, ‘Wavy Raindrops – Grande’ by Urban Elementz. I love it because the rainbows on the quilt come after rain, and symbolizes the beauty that comes after hard times. This is what the pantograph looks like.

Here’s what it looks like on my quilt:

Other ideas that I think would look good with this quilt pattern are:

CROSSHATCH GRID – by Urban Elementz.

I used something like this on one of my quilt versions of the ‘After The Rain’ quilt.

This was the design Brittany of Lo and Behold Stitchery used, as well.

Rachel of Wren Collective also used this design (on her domestic machine). 

These are a few other quilting designs that I think always look great:

  1. Modern Twist
loops drawn in black and orange

2. Clam Shells

HAND QUILTING

If you want to try hand quilting your finished quilt top, or adding a touch of hand quilting along with machine quilting, I have a tutorial for hand quilting HERE.

Final Week

I can’t wait to see how you decide to quilt your ‘After The Rain’ quilt!

Be sure to post your finished quilt top this week, before Monday, May 16th, when the winner of the FREE LONGARM QUILTING will be announced!

I hope you’ve enjoyed the quilt along.

I am a Minnesota born girl living in Texas with my husband and 3 kids. If I could tell my 13 year old self I was a quilter, I would have laughed in disbelief.  However, a few years ago I discovered how cool quilting really is!  I want to share how cool quilting is with others.  Join me in my online modern Quilters Candy Membership, or check out my quilt patterns.  I even offer a course once a year teaching you how to write and sell your own quilt patterns. I am excited to be quilty friends!
