Quilting the Triangles

I've started the quilting, this is going to take a bit. . . I still think I can get it done. . . the next several days will be interesting :)  Not a long post, just pics:


I'm thinking micro stippling between the pedals to make that flower pop. . . Do you think a micro paisley would be too busy? I could do that faster than stippling. . . quite honestly, my stippling sux.  No really, it does.

Yes, using the Fine Line Rulers, I did the flower with the small arc ruler.

I'm improving as I go. . . this back and forth squiggle is not bad to do for a micro design ;) I tried pebbling first. . . I ripped it out. . . I can say without a doubt - ripping out pebbling is NOT fun!

I just love the texture quilting gives a top.
I was going to do straight lines at the half diamonds. . . it looked bad. . . more ripping. . .

  8. Wow! It looks great. I just got my Fine Line rulers last week (the straight ones) but I haven't done much with them yet. So far I've fiddled around with a practice piece and I have to say I'm quite impressed with them.

  10. Hi! I'm so glad you made a comment on my blog because it made me click on your link. And I saw the way you quilted the hexagone. I have a hexagone quilt top done and just didn't know yet how to quilt it. Seeing your flower and swirling pattern gives me ideas.
    I don't know about adding paisleys on yours... I think it looks great right now.
    Thank you for stopping at my place and thank you for the ideas! :-)

  11. oh WOW! your quilting really gives the triangles a whole different look. Amazing! and the perseverance in ripping all of that out is really admirable. bravo to you! btw- I think a micro paisley would look great. since it's in such a small area, I think it would probably have the same feel as a stipple. I have a tough time believing though, that your stippling is not as fantastic as the rest of your quilting, ha!

    Thanks so much for linking up to Needle and Thread Thursday!
