Quilting Designs

There are a variety of quilt designs that you can choose from.  Normally I just select one that I think will look best with whatever theme or pattern we're working with on the quilt.  But, I've started taking pictures of the one's I've used to show you so that if you just fall in love with one and want to request a certain design.

This is a called champagne bubble design.  I used this one, in a quilt where I had used polka dot fabric, it turned out really cute.

This is a dragon fly pattern.  I had this done in a variegated thread. **

Here is the football design. 

This was called a square dance design.  I just recently discovered this and I think this is one of my favorite to use on a quilt for a guy!

I'll call the "Classic" quilt design since I dont remember what it's name is.  This one was also done in variegated thread.   When variegated thread is used on a solid back such as this black, the colors really pop.  As you can see from this picture, the colors from the thread aren't very prominant on the fron and don't distract you from all the great colors and shirts, but it makes the back of the quilt look amazing!



  This is just another view of the "classic" design. I have used this on several quilts and it turns out very beautiful.



Lastly, here we have an eagle design.  This too was done in variegated thread and I must say, at first I was a little nervous how it would turn out, but it really does look amazing.  This picture really doesn't do it justice, but hopefully you can see the eagles.  We used this on Susan's law school quilt.  If you remeber, we used a firework fabric for the sashing and then a solid purple for the border. We were going for a law/liberty/justice theme, so we used the Eagle design.  It also turns out that Faulkner's mascot is the eagle, so that was a pretty cool coincidence.

Well, as I branch out and use different quilting designs, I'll make sure to post them here.
