Every so often I get a quilt that just doesn't speak to me.... Just doesn't tell me how it wants to be quilted. When this happens I spend a lot of time doing the S&S or what longarm quilters refer to as Standing & Staring. After Standing & Staring for awhile there are a few of those quilts that just will not talk!
When a quilt is refusing to talk, a lot of times I just go for it... start stitching and see what happens. That is exactly what I'm doing today. Going for it. Making things up as I go along...

ReplyDeleteWell it sure looks like you are listening to what the quilt is saying to you.....I love what you're doing....
ReplyDeleteWell your S&S has worked, this looks great.I too have the same problem,the one I have just finished for a customer was like that and so is the next!
ReplyDeleteI think it's speaking to you just fine - it's lookin' good!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel, Kim...it's looking great so far! Sometimes you just have to get started.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I have to load the quilt and commit to quilting it before the ideas start coming. I like what you are doing so far.
ReplyDeleteLove what you are doing with this quilt KIm
