Ruler Quilting Gridlines – Dream Big Quilt Along #3
We’re stitching right along with our second ruler quilting design – Gridlines. Learn how to use the Slice or Ditcher rulers to quilt an elegant grid into the smaller double petal shapes we created on the Dream Big Quilt:
Click Here to find the Dream Big Guidebook – This is an optional guide to help you get ahead on this quilt along. You can learn which petals I turned into Double Petals and how the designs will fill the quilt panel each week. This guidebook also includes information on making both the Dream Big Quilt and Dream Big Jacket!
Click Here to find the Dream Big Fabric Panel in the beautiful purple / teal aurora colorway. If you decide to make a quilted garment too, you may need more than one panel!
Quilting Homework for Week 3
Gridlines is a very formal, elegant design. It’s commonly used on a small 1/4-inch scale in wholecloth quilts to make bigger motifs stand out.
This is exactly why I choose to use Gridlines in the Dream Big quilt. Later on in this quilt along we will fill the small channels in our double petal shapes with Feathers! The dense Gridline design will make the feathers stand out beautifully on our quilts or our quilted garments.
If you’d like to know which petals I quilted with Leaf Veins, check out the Dream Big Guidebook here. This guide includes all the designs we will be quilting together as well and helpful diagrams to follow along.
Let’s go quilt,
