Planning a quilt doesn’t just entail what quilt pattern we are going to use to piece the quilt top. Most of the time we see a quilt or think up and design a quilt without much thought to how it is going to be quilted.
I thought I would give you some pointers from my point of view as the longarm quilter who may have the privilege to quilt it for you.
Your answer to that question can help you plan your quilt and the quilting you want on it. Making a quilt is a huge investment, in time and money so the time you take now planning out what your desired outcome will help later on when the time comes to having it quilted.
Most of us (myself included) make a quilt because we love to sew and love quilting in particular. We want to give it as a gift, or keep it to use on bed, sofa or even a wall. The final destination will help you determine the type of quilting you will want on it.
Years ago I made a beautiful quilt for my son Nathan. He wanted a Celtic cross and I found a pattern that I could adapt and enlarge to make a king size quilt for him. It was the biggest quilt I have ever made and I decided to have it appraised. Then I made the mistake of telling him what the appraisal was. 🙂 he was afraid to use it. I am happy that he values my quilts but I did intend for him to use it and he does now but it resided at my home for several years.
But I have also seen quilts that were quilted with love, lots of money spent of the fabric and custom quilting and it was used to cover the sofa where the dogs laid and was eventually ruined. We can’t be in control of what happens to the quilts after we gift them but we can plan according to what we would hope would happen.
I receive a small monetary compensation for any purchases you might make thru some links on my site. This doesn’t cost you anything extra, but it does help me out.
