Day 294 – Spiral Curtain

I don’t know about you, but it’s really weird seeing this redesign of the site! It might take a bit to get used to all the new colors and navigation, even for me.

So let’s get on with a new design to the project. This is a fun variation of Wind Stitch, a design I created for the Quilting Arts Online Magazine last year. This version of the design is stitched with straight lines and sharp angles to create an interesting Spiral Curtain:

Difficulty Level – Advanced. Spiral Curtain isn’t super difficult, but it does require a lot of travel stitching to get to each area of the design. If you need to, try marking some of the spirals first, and this will make estimating your space and traveling much easier.

Design Family – Edge to Edge. This design is stitched from one edge of your quilting space to the other. This will work great across a narrow area, like your quilt sashing or borders.

Directional Texture – 2 Directions. You really can’t miss the horizontal or vertical texture this design creates on your quilt. Because of the funky texture, this would work great on the outer border to add a beautiful frame to any quilt.

Suggestions for Use – Do you realize just how many spiral designs we have on the project? Spirals are one of my favorite designs, so I’ve created quite a few of these designs over the last two years. Yesterday I made a list of them all and will soon organize a page for all of them so they’re easy to find.
