Quilt Project Design Help - Attn Cross Stitchers
At first it may not seem on topic but bear with me please.
Last night I pulled out one of my many cross stitch project after many months of not working on any of them. It's a Precious Moments design by Gloria and Pat. Over the years I have made several of their designs. I started cross stitching as a kid so since I really liked the precious moments these patterns were perfect. Now I stitch them when I want a fairly fast and easy project to stitch so I've gotten a small collection of them over the years. When I was younger my mother made the suggestion of make enough to make a quilt with and I thought yea. I hadn't put much thought into it until last night stitching. I am thinking about making small frames of fabric for some of the smaller ones and maybe even a very small one for the larger designs but haven't decided on that it may just end up being some plain muslin to make them all the same size even though they are close. I am thinking of attaching them together with sashings. I have a couple of questions on how to accomplish this quilt though. 1)They are all stitched on aida (cloth with holes in it for those who don't cross stitch). I assume I will need to put something behind them like muslin to keep the batting from popping through. Will this be too bulky especially since the aida is thick to begin with? Will I have cosmetic problems due to the differences in bulk? 2)Like I said, I'm thinking about connecting the pieces with sashings so some quilting can be done there, but I'm wondering what to do with the blocks/pictures. I don't want quilting in the middle of my cross stitches. Any ideas how this could be handled? I'm sure it will have to be machine quilted because the bulk of the aida would make hand quilting a bit hard. Again TIA for your help and ideas!! -- Charlotte http://community.webshots.com/user/charh108 |
