I had planned on knowing exactly how to quilt Swoon before I loaded it on the longarm. Unfortunately, I just couldn't come up with what I planned to do. So, I decided as I went along. I like the ribbon candy at the top and sides. The outer border is not very wide so I thought this was a good choice. I tried to make the crosshatching look a little elongated to make a 3D effect since it's sort of stretched out over the corner. I'm not sure it works, but I'm not changing it!
I also made the crosshatching closer in the small triangles. The area was too small. It's a little wider when paired with the feathers.
This is a picture of the feathers before I fixed them. The feathers to the left are at such a weird angle! I like them better now. I learned I just can't get the correct angle unless I quilt them a specific way. I hope I improve and will be able to quilt them at any angle I want!
Really love the ribbon quilting and those feathers are so lovely...Nice work hugs, Julierose

DeleteYour quilting looks amazing on Swoon. I love the curved crosshatching. I can't say I've ever seen it before but it's so pretty.
