Custom quilting is an everyday joy at Burlington Electric Quilters. If you’re already using the Statler Stitcher, maybe you’re enjoying the wide range of patterns that Louise has available. Louise loves playing with the Creative Studio program, mixing and matching patterns to highlight quilt details for an heirloom custom quilt. Let me share what she did with Pat F.’s Starry Night Quilt.
All of those gorgeous pieced curves give this quilt a quiet, cozy vibe. Starry Night gives a modern touch to a nativity scene. Using the white background, you feel traditional quilt. The colored mix of prints and semi solids for the blocks add whimsy and interest. Clearly, Louise and Pat took time to create their quilting strategy.
An allover background quilting pattern on the white background keeps the focus on the piecing. The star in the manger is simply echo quilted, letting that bright yellow pop. But look carefully at the custom choices to quilt the camel, the donkey and the sheep. It’s more densely quilted, so each animal doesn’t puff up. She uses the same technique on the faces and garments of the wise men. The fabric patterns may blend with the quilting, but the overall impact is perfect.
If you have a special quilt top and would like to have it custom quilted, make your appointment to see Louise for custom quilting. Together, you will choose motifs, textures and thread color. Then, Burlington Electric Quilters will transform your top into a gorgeous custom quilt.
