Searching quilting designs
Having taken a notion to use a diamond ring design on a double wedding ring quilt, I decided to look about at the different ways people do that pattern to see how they differ from what I know. So far I have used three different search strings and gotten a ton of different double wedding ring patterns using diamonds, links to jewelry, and not one single quilting design. How do you go about searching for quilting designs? The quilting itself, not the top. NightMist -- Legolas is my house elf |

might be something in here that works. either in the 'blocks', 'block/shape specific' or 'miscellaneous.'. pretty sure this is where i ran across those in the past couple of days. just did a really quick shoot thru there look'n for the ones i found the other day and it must have been another site. there are plenty there tho. i'll keep checking my history to see if i can find the ones i'm thinking of that fit inside the DWR, a bit like a squished square. will post when/if i find'em. j.

NightMist It takes some doing to find quilting motifs since you usually end up with quilt block designs when you search. Here are a couple sites I have found: http://www.patchpieces.com/2001quiltingBOM.html http://www.victorianaquiltdesigns.co...ingdesigns.htm http://www.forestquilting.com/motifs...sfree_pg1.html Try putting "quilt motifs" (without the quotes) into Google. Good luck! Iris |

I particularly like the fern pattern.
I may swap that in for the feathers I had in mind for the middles and the surround. My notion was to do diamond rings over the melons, and a feather X in the middles, and then feather around the whole. What I am trying to find out, which I now realize I was less than clear about, is how do you all do a search for a quilting pattern without having to plow through five pages of tops and non-related stuff.

NightMist Boy, did I read THAT original question wrong... DUH. Sorry about that Chief... You can eliminate the unwanted hits by putting a "-" (minus sign) directly in front of any words you want eliminated from the search; i.e. if you don't want green pickles in your search for pickles, put - green in the search window. If you want quilting patterns specifically, put them in quotes, i.e. "quilting patterns". In the google window, click on "advanced search" to the right of the window, then click on "Advanced Search Tips" above and read through them. That's the best I can help at this time. Doc |

I just got the newsletter from the Stencil Company in my
mailbox. You can find their page he http://quiltingstencils.com/ I buy from them but even if you aren't buying at the time you sure can get a lot of ideas from all their options. Everytime I see them at the quilt show I just am overwhelmed with all the choices. Hey NM I was thinking about Ash and wondering how the school year has started for him. I hope well.

Doc Ah Doc...if only! Google responds to boolean logic about as well as cats respond to drill sergants. They have made it more "intuitive" and "user friendly". The plus sign and quotes still work, but kind of wierdly. It ignores the minus sign beautifully. Worse yet, sometimes it decides that since you have used a minus sign that you aren't getting the results you want and displays a whole new set that are further from what you want than ever. I did scoot over to Alta Vista to do a full on boolean search. I got a LOT more correct hits over there. I may have to switch back permenantly. NightMist -- Legolas is my house elf |
