Topic: Tip on Quilting Applique Quilt (2/2) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

In 2010, TQS will treat you to not one, but two Sue Garman Block-of-the-Month quilts! Both quilts--one applique and one pieced--are bright and cheery, sure to be showstoppers on a bed or wall. Once again, Sue will offer lots of instruction and tips along with the patterns. Be ready: This is "the year of quilting" as Sue helps you enliven your quilts with many quilting options.

Don't miss out on the fun and learning available to you through the TQS BOM quilting community. Click here for the fabric requirements so you can be ready when we launch both patterns on January 1, 2010. (Word to the wise: We sold out our 2009 BOM quilts quickly, so be sure to get your 2010 kit(s) early by visiting the TQS Shoppe.) We are very excited to offer you this opportunity and look forward to you seeing your work as the year progresses.

Hi Libbi, thanks for that link to the quilting article. I've been thinking about how to quilt the 2011 BOM and this article has some very good advice. I may have to think about subscribing to MQU- I got the first couple of issues but it seemed like it was primarily for longarmers. What I've seen lately has made me reconsider.

Have fun quilting your Hugs and Kisses quilt. Will you post a close up so we can see the quilting when you're finished?

Thanks for sharing that great article, Libbi!

Although they didn't have any photos of an example, the article did mention the fact that applique quilts were also stitched in a close grid right over all of the applique motifs!
I was able to see a wonderful example of an antique quilt done that way a couple of weeks ago at a lecture by MeriKay Waldvogel.

The grid that I did on my Coxcomb quilt is not a closely stitched as the antique that I saw, but I really love the effect of stitching it like this, and this technique could certainly work on the Hugs & Kisses quilts.

Libbi OFFLINE Posts: 332 Thank you received: 48	As I approach the quilting stage of Hugs & Kisses, I realized I had never quilted a quilt like this. As fate would have it, my monthly newsletter from Jinny Beyer posted a link to an article on Quilting an Applique quilt. This was a hint for Jinny's 2010 BOM. I pass this info on to you. It is from the November 2010 issue of Machine Quilting Unlimited. http://www.mqumag.com/quiltapplique/
