This is a terrific design to quilt in spaces like this because it filled quickly, I could easily travel stitch to form more lines of the design, and the flowing lines added a nice contrast to the center circle.
Difficulty Level:
Intermediate. Don't let this rating intimidate you! I mostly set the rating based on the amount of travel stitching a design has and how much time it takes to fill a space. Travel stitching is a skill you just have to build with quilting and Windy Feathers would be a great design to learn how to stitch right on top of your stitching to move through the design.
Design Family: Edge to Edge. This design is part of a little mini family that I
call Pocket Designs. Basically you stitch the lines to create gaps or pockets, then you can leave those spaces open, or fill them with other designs, which creates a totally different effect!
If you're interested in geeking out on this with me (yes, of course you are!), first learn how to quilt
Flowing Lines. This is the simplest version of the design and the fastest to stitch.
Then stitch it up a notch with
Goldilocks and
Trapped Paisley. I promise if you stitch out all of these designs you'll not only gain a lot of awesome quilting skill, you'll also fall in love with this design style too.
