My goal as part of
One Thing, One Week Challenge was to start the Grooves quilt. I've been putting it off, because the pattern looked complex to me. I rarely use patterns, so that didn't help much either. Then I saw I tutorial at
Crafty Fox showing how to put it together log cabin style and it completely made sense to me, so I pieced it together that way and the quilt top came together in no time. It's the baby quilt size in the pattern (it's actually quite large for a baby quilt), because I am using it for a lap-sized quilt for someone who uses a wheel chair. I also wanted it to be usable for a guy, so I went with different shades of Kona blues.
I'm pretty happy to have finally sewn it together. Now my wheels are turning about what I should do for the quilting. Any suggestions is terms of thread color? Would you use one thread color or change it by the curve you're working on? Match or make it stick out? I really don't know, so any suggestions would be helpful. :)
Oh, I love it, love it, LOVE it!!! Soo cool!! Not experienced enough with the quilting to throw out any suggestions, but I can't wait to see what you do with it!
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern! Great color choices!
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome! I have no idea on the quilting though...I would probably not switch colors for each section because, well, I'm lazy. I would probably go with a light blue thread since that is not as obvious as white and would blend a bit more, but would look good with all the other shades of blue. I don't know, those are just my initial thoughts, but I think whatever you do will look fabulous. Good luck deciding!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are great!
