Did a bit of a trial run first on a bit of a scrap piece of backing.
Knew I would have difficulties filling in the spaces, however went onto my practice quilt and had a go.

The design went alright...did not realise how much backtracking this involved. Initially I followed a sort of direction from left to right, but this soon changed and I found myself all over the place and stitching the paisley upside down and sideways...started off a bit bigger but as I went along the design got a bit smaller.
Question
- my biggest issue were the odd empty spaces; do you just put lines in there to fit in with the overall design or leave some empty spaces?
Until next time

Your Paisley design looks nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteI think you did a beautiful job! It looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteIt looks so nice! I just put little extra lines in my empty spaces that go with the last paisley I did;)
ReplyDeleteYes, I did as well but sometimes that turned out pretty wonky. Looking at today's answers I think I will leave the smaller spaces unquilted.
DeleteYour design looks great. We encountered the same questions about the odd empty spaces. I look forward to tomorrows answers from Leah.

DeleteYes, that should be interesting as some of the spaces that are left are very odd-shaped and hard to fill.
DeleteI seemed to have the same issue with the empty space. Your work looks really nicely balanced to me.

Thank you Emma. What I noticed is that the echoing is the important factor. If you look closely I echoed about 2 - 3 times around each shape, but once on the side I think I did about 4 echoes - now that stands out like a sore thumb. Mind you that also might go under in a bigger piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you asked your question! I had the exact same one and didn't get linked up in time to ask. Your quilting looks beautiful. I didn't notice the four echoes until I read your comment.
