I’m thinking scrappy strips.

Hi Lynda. Firstly what an amazing quilt – I saw it in person at Newark and I was blown away by the beauty and intracy. My question is how did you achieve the pale blue micro quilting in the centre panel between the ‘border’ and the row of small circles? Is it micro stippling or micro pebbles all intersecting with each other? Thanks
8 years, 4 months ago
Hi Carole, Thank you for the lovely comments, so glad you like it, and thank you for asking this. This is a micro fill that is like a scribble, and I do it with tiny circles that overlap each other, literally like a scribble, with a very small stitch length. Hope this helps. If not I could do a small video to show you.

Thank you for sharing your process Lynda, it is beautiful, and so much work but worth it like you say 🙂 I’m just wondering please how you wash away the blue pen – do you just spray it while it’s still on the quilting frame? Many thanks 🙂
8 years, 4 months ago
Hi Lorraine. Good question. I tend to spray areas as I go once I know that the markings are not needed any more and when complete I give it a really good soaking spray. If it is of a manageable size I will dunk it in COLD water, but they can be very heavy to handle when wet and in the winter I have nowhere big enough to dry some of them.

Thank you Lynda. I worry a lot about using marking pens. I’m getting braver though. I think I need to wet it a bit more than what I’m doing as it disappears but then comes back again when dry. I will persevere though 🙂
