I finally decided how to quilt those big diamonds in Arcadia Avenue. They're fairly large. Each side measures 10 inches. I subdivided them into 4 diamonds where each side measures 5 inches.
I marked 4 one inch increments in the middle of each new diamond. I made a line that went from the top of the diamond, through the 1 inch mark, and then down to the very bottom of the diamond. That creates 5 areas to be quilted.
I quilted loops going back and forth in some of those areas. I quilted in 3 areas for 2 of the diamonds and 2 areas in the other 2 diamonds. I got the idea from Angela Walters book, Shape by Shape, Collection 2. She has the best designs. There are so many and it's very easy to mix and match them.
I hope you can see my quilting in these pictures. It gets dark so early! I keep running out of daylight! You can open the images in a new tab and the detail is much better.
Love what you've done!!!! Angela's books are full of great inspiration!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Doreen! Her books are full of inspiration! I buy a lot of her books and so glad to actually use them!
DeleteWow! What a nice way to give dimension to the large diamonds, without detracting from the beautiful paper pieced blocks.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Em! So hard to pick a design but I liked this one and decided to just go for it!
