Day 43 – Television Ariel
Today is one of those super busy days where I’m trying to do a million things all at once. I’m preparing to remodel my kitchen, build a light box, clean the carport, quilt, and design new quilting designs all at the same time!
While this is a little ridiculous to try to do so many things at once, I always find the time to blog each day and share the latest design like today’s Television Ariel.
Television Ariel is a simple variation of Pine Needles. The only difference is exchanging wavy lines for straight lines!
Inspiration – This design wasn’t really inspired by anything in particular. I was just thumbing through my 4″ squares, saw Pine Needles, and immediately noticed the number of variations I could easily make with this design.
Difficulty Level – Intermediate. Just like Pine Needles, this design does require a lot of traveling along your previous lines of stitching. Practice makes perfect so take your time and your stitches will gradually improve.
Directional Texture – Two directions. This filler is going to work great placed on a horizontal or vertical open area of a quilt.
Suggestions for Use – Try placing Television Ariel in your sashing your expanded over the whole surface of a bright, pieced quilt. This design will look great in these places!
Let’s go quilt,

I have checked in almost daily since you started this project.. Great idea. Watching you do the stiches has helped improve my stiches even on untrelated patterns.
And now I have started seeing stich ideas everywhere!
My favorite so far is the pebbles in a stream. Made me want to design a whole landscape quilt just to use it in. Would not be able to pick a second as there are so many that take that spot..
What a wonderful resource your site is for ideas on quilting patterns. I'm still trying to get good at simple machine quilting and I think using one of those sliders for under the quilt and the gloves would make all the difference. Also I think I need to use something besides my walking foot. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas!
