DQS13 Bursting busy beaver

I really had no idea on how I was going to quilt Rainbow Burst for the DQS13 Swap.  Using this picture, I took it into a paint program and drew up some ideas.  A first time at drawing in quilting lines on a computer.  At first I tried feathers and pebbles, no like.  Straight lines were definitely the way to go.


DQS progress back on track.




French Knots for DQS


Very easy and effective.  Some things stood out as too busy. Well, most things were too busy.  My biggest issue was wanting to hand quilt it.  I settled for adding in some french knots.

  17. This is such a striking design. I was doodling something similar about a month ago, and your finished top really makes me want to get started making it a reality! I love how the quilting plan looks. I haven't tried hand-quilting yet, but it seems like a great fit for this quilt.
