Over a year ago I designed this quilt…..
It is based on a photo that I took of a woodpile!! Over the ensuing 18 months, I have shown this quilt over and over again, talking about how I was going to quilt it.
Well, I SILL don’t really know but, one way or the other, I am going to finish it in the next two weeks.
PLEASE HOLD ME TO THIS PLAN!!!!
It has GOT to leave my “to-do” pile and move into the “Whew—it’s done stack”!!
I have even written the pattern for the top, but can’t feature it until I actually finish the quilt!!
So, how I am going to make a decision??
I spent a few minutes with a roll of painter’s tape and came up with these ideas…..
Using straight lines to separate the quilt into various shapes…..
I like this idea, but what am I going to fill the shapes in with??
Emphasizing one or more of the peaks….
Or maybe REALLY emphasize one of the peaks…..
Or what if I turned one or more of the peaks into diamonds……
As you can see……
I………NEED……..HELP!!
If you have suggestions, PLEASE let me know!!!

I like the idea of emphasizing one of the mountains, echoing it. If you can do 3 mountain quilting shapes, just might do the quilt
Thanks Terri. I have been thinking that way as well because I really want to emphasize the yellow triangles.
Imho-
It’s a striking quilt.
I like the first long diagonal lines.
I would be tempted to then do horizontal lines broken maybe with outlines of the yellow triangles.
Thanks Elle. I am really conflicted about it but I MUST get it done this next week so I will have to make a decision!!!
Personally I would use curves like a baptist fan or doodles or some such thing. There are so many straight lines the curves would balance it nicely.
Thanks for the ideas Rebecca. I am really going back and forth between curves to balance or straight lines to enhance the design!!
