Papillon, part 3

Since I know that you have the latest copy of Fabric Trends and that you are making the Papillon quilt (scroll down) designed by my good friends at the The Quilt Basket, I will show you how I quilted the sample.

Last week, I showed how I quilted the outline of the star blocks. This week, I will show how I quilted the background of the star blocks.

I pulled out my Quilter's Preview Paper to see what design might look nice.

Let's try some arcs:

I like it!

Let's quilt:



Sources from the video:

• I quilt on a HQ 24 Fusion
• I used HQ Half-Circle Templates for the arcs
• I used Tutti thread TU 37 (shell) and a size 16 needle for the arcs

Next week, I will show how to quilt the center butterfly block. Be sure to come back and check it out!
