Quilting in Progress

Quilting in Progress

I sat down and drew out on paper the two different square patterns and then pondered the possible quilting patterns.  I was sure that on the modified log cabin block that it would be quilted in the ditch to show the log cabin portion.  It was a puzzle as to how to quilt the "picture blocks".  The larger blocks were pretty simple....stitch in the ditch to frame the picture.  The smaller blocks required the thought.  I was sure that I did not want to stitch each one. So the graph paper was very helpful to determine that I would outline the picture, make a diamond square, then created a design using diagonals across the outside round of 2" squares.  I don't know if you can tell exactly in the plan sheet.  I had drawn with pencil and design is in red.  I then decided the "3inch-X's" in the sashing was easy enough, since the large blocks were 6inch.

 

Hopefully you will be able to see some of the quilting design in the pics below.
