Getting up Close with Ribbon Quilting

Ribbon quilting is basically a double meandering.  It is an over all quilting that is perfect for any quilt, especially modern quilts, but not necessarily traditional quilts. I think that is it a perfect quilting for a baby quilt or a lap quilt.


Quite often I use two colors of thread, thus resulting in a shadow effect, giving more of a twisted appearance. Most of my customers who choose the ribbon quilting, also choose to have a twist.  A twist is a free style flower, star, swirl, leaf, or another quilted item.


The most selected size of ribbon quilting is the extra large.  I have posted several examples here and there are more photos in the Photo Gallery.


Two color ribbon quilting with a twist is my favorite type of free style quilting, when I need an overall quilting for a quilt top.  Do you have a favorite quilting style?
