I think that is the challenge for everyone ....Laura<br />I think that is the challenge for everyone ... how to quilt it? With traditional quilts, you can look at what others have done before and you can even find books with suggestions on how to quilt them. But with art quilts, you are talking about a unique and original piece of work, so there isn't a clear answer. Each one has to be considered on its own. I sometimes know how I want to quilt something before I even start it, but other times have no idea and it hangs on the wall for 6 months before I figure it out. Lately though, since most of my work is nature themed, I tend to use slightly curved organic lines because that's what foliage and flowers seem to call for. I'd be better able to give suggestions if I saw an example of the quilt you are considering. Another suggestion might be to print a picture of your quilt in a full-page size and try some motifs on it to see how they look.<br />ElaineElaine Quehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026673306647861262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222373504029195323.post-79110239089411262272011-07-11T09:01:49.178-07:002011-07-11T09:01:49.178-07:00I love your thread projects!

With smaller pieces, it's a little easier to figure out a design or designs to use, but a bigger piece seems to give me a lot of trouble.
