I finally finished one of the two quilt tops I made some time ago.
Since I used a new technique, it was a fun project and I was anxious to see it finished.
Do you remember the top? At the time I said after quilting it should look significantly different.
I wanted to use the design for a quilt with a mosaic effect (like this “Secret Flower Garden” quilt). Then I changed my mind and instead of making each piece smaller to let the background visible in between pieces, I chose to highlight the edges of the pieces with a zig zag stitch. All I wanted was to make the shape of each piece clear.
I don’t have a satin stitch on my machine so I stitched over the edges with a zig zag stitch twice – again, just to make the stitching more apparent.
I stitched for the first time only through the quilt top. Here are some “work in progress” pictures.
Then I made the sandwich and I quilted the entire quilt. Finally, I doubled the zig zag stitch. Yes, I used the walking foot a lot! And I even loved it!
It was a FUN project!
Happy quilting!
This is a great technique! Stunning result
A wonderful quilt!
Gorgeous Geta???
Beautiful work, Geta!!
Beautiful quilt, clever technique. Really looking forward to the pattern arriving on site…
Absolutely stunning! technique was very effective Geta!
Dear Geta, I love your site and your technique. I am a little confused. You say you don't have satin stitch on your machine. If your machine does zig-zag all you do is shorten the stitch length down to next to nothing and voila you have satin stitch. I did applique for a childrens designer for years and if you have zig-zag you have satin stitch. P.S. What a difference it makes putting the stitching over the fabric. I piece of information I will keep in my head for future projects.
I know that the very dense zig zag stitch reassembles the look of satin stitch. But my stitching doesn't have the three dimensional look of the satin stitch and is not uniform. For the next piece I must practice more!
Beautiful! I love seeing the progress of how each step makes a difference!

Love the wide, white stitching! What a difference it makes…
As always your work blows me away.
Wow.
Hi,
