Getting Up Close with Wiggle Line Quilting in Special Areas
On Monday, June 13th I featured Wiggle Line Quilting. Today we are going to take a look at Wiggle Line Quilting in Special Areas of the quilt or of the block.
On this quilt I wiggle line quilted on the whole block. I think it gives it a bit of a modern look.
I outlined with wiggle line quilting on the outside border of the embroidered blocks in this quilt.
Here is the back of the quilt.
I quilted with wiggle lines right down the center and in the triangular sections. It softens the sharpeness of the zig zag pattern.
I am just rolling it off the machine rollers to get ready to trim the edges! The wiggle lines really do soften the appearance of the quilt.
Have a great Monday!

On this quilt I wiggle line quilted on the whole block. I think it gives it a bit of a modern look.
Here is the back of the quilt.
The quilting of the wiggle lines was used for the crosshatching pattern on this quilt.
How about a double wiggle line quilting in the blocks and through the strips?
Think about adding the wiggle lines everywhere.
Another view of the double wiggle lines.
You can wiggle line quilt into the square and back out again and then continue through the lattice to carry the look through out the quilt.
I am just rolling it off the machine rollers to get ready to trim the edges! The wiggle lines really do soften the appearance of the quilt.
Check out the wiggle lines on the house block.
Really gives this quilt a unique look.
You have seen this quilt before. It is the Primary Colors Baby Quilt. It was one of the quilts that was displayed in the Organic Valley Quilt Show. I made the quilt in January for the first challenge of Project Quilting.
I quilted it with Zentangle Quilting (Wachuta Doodles) in each block. This block has the wiggle lines at an angle. Click here to see all the posts on the Baby Quilt.
The possibilities are endless with wiggle line quilting. You can try it just about anywhere!
Have a great Monday!

Getting Up Close with My Quilting - Triangle Quilting
Outlining triangles and other shapes on this quilt with meandering triangles in between the shapes.
This is a cool way to fill a triangle. Remember the Special Swirls Quilting in the triangles. See how the quilting changes the look of the quilt.
Please email me if you try any of the quilting designs. I will link to your post about it or I will post it here for you!
This is what I posted on Friday's FAQs about Jeannie:
Why do I write a blog?
Monday's Post about wiggle line quilting inspired Jeannie from Quilting by Jeannie . She is also a long arm quilter and she tried the wiggle line quilting and posted it on Thursday! Hop over and see it. It's great!
And that is exactly why I write a blog. I love what I do so much, I really want to inspire others to create!

Remember sharing is what blogging is all about! Sharing your craft... what you do... how to make it... and good deals on fabrics, patterns, and etc... and giveaways!
Sharing with you...

Getting Up Close with Wiggle Line Quilting
Wiggle Line Quilting is using wiggle lines instead of straight lines.
They give the quilt the look of straight lines, but it softens the appearance.
On the first quilt the wiggle lines start at one side of the quilt
and travel across to the other side of the quilt.
Look how the middle quilt stands out between the swirl quilted quilt
and ribbon quilted quilt.
If you want a unique look, try the wiggle lines.
Here the wiggle lines are just stitched in the borders.
The next quilt shows the wiggle lines in sections of the quilt.
The wiggle lines in this table runner are just on the end border strips of the table runner.
This is the back side of the table runner.
The wiggle lines are in a tiny inch border.
On this quilt the wiggle lines soften and enhance the striped fabric border.
In a future post I will show wiggle lines in special sections and blocks of quilts.
If you would like to see them now, go to the Photo Gallery.
Wiggle Line Quilting really changes the look of a quilt!
P.S You can still enter the Double Double Quilting Giveaway
for a chance to win $20 off the quilting. (or $30.00 off -see details on the post)
Hope you are having a great Monday!
