I am looking for a good "star" stipple. I have a buzz lightyear quilt in progress for my 4 year old grandson and I am planning on using glow in the dark thread to quilt it. I haven't found a design yet and I still haven't decided on the thread brand (several have glow in the dark).Mike Pearsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10186055974523028705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-37617171332122709252012-06-13T13:17:06.529-04:002012-06-13T13:17:06.529-04:00I just started following the FMQP a few weeks ago,...I just started following the FMQP a few weeks ago, being an absolute beginner quilter I'd asked my guild ladies how they got their quilts, quilted and if it wasn't hand done, it was done on the long arm. I think my eyebrows nearly popped off my head when I discovered how much that cost lol. So in research and suggestions I found Leah's site (YAY!!) I discovered that normal stippling for me is counter-intuitive, I simply can't do the u shapes or the lobster claw type stuff without stressing myself out. So I searched the 365 days patterns and discovered the sea oats flower & pattern, playing with it and drawing it out in many different ways I ended up with a design like loopy lines only with the sea oat 'seeds' and then I added in some simple leaf shapes and a shape similar to a wave only echo'd (Once I find my camera I can post some pictures). So loopy lines doesn't just have to be loops, I think that this type of pattern is so easy to adjust, play with and alter it has got to be a staple in any FMQ'ers repertoire.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17858317269843930322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-73403079478622815882012-06-13T11:41:07.064-04:002012-06-13T11:41:07.064-04:00This is absolutely one of my favorite designs that...This is absolutely one of my favorite designs that I do by itself or add other elements and use this to "connect" them. So relaxing to do! I so agree with Jessim, random is so much more difficult to accomplish than an established/repeating pattern. It must be that teeny, tiny part of my brain that is organized and must be "in control"! LOL! So glad to be back with you, Leah, and our weekly sessions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-67575011134448695682012-06-13T11:26:05.552-04:002012-06-13T11:26:05.552-04:00This too, was one of my first designs.

I love using loops on my quilt, but have never thought of using it as a tight filler. I need to change my perspective to take large scale designs into the smaller scale!<br /><br />A fun variation is to do two outward loops than two inward (or any other combination). I like to have a pattern though- to me random never looks random!Jessimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442665425448000014noreply@blogger.com
