![]() ![]() This is where you can put your money, so as to marry both piecing and quilting for lovely, heirloom results. A careful assessment of the quilt can render optimum results. Be practical about both style and money.Ī quilt in which the pattern and fabrics are deliberately and carefully chosen, that perhaps has a specific purpose and there is much more emotional investment, calls for the same deliberation and investment in a quilt design. You will want to choose something simple and dense because the busyness of a scrappy pieced top does not permit optimum visual access to the quilting design. It can be an inexpensive meandering or stipple design a design that isn’t costly but gives a great return for the money in use and longevity. A scrappy, utilitarian quilt begs for a dense overall (edge-to-edge) pattern that can withstand a great deal of use and laundering. The quilt is scrappy, made from a myriad of fabrics, colors and images. Let’s take a look at that statement from the perspective of the quilt. Many quilters say their pieced top will “tell them” what it wants, and dictates a desired “look.” Listen to this, and let your style and intuition lead you. Since it’s a catalog, you can clip out ideas you like to keep in a binder or notebook to browse later. We’ve also heard from some of our customers that they use our catalog as quilting inspiration. ![]() Most likely the images you’re drawn to will complement the tops you’ve pieced. Make a note of what appeals to you, and use that style of image in your quilting. Most quilt books have lovely pictures of exquisitely quilted pieced tops that are great for inspiration. Be innovative and give yourself permission to experiment with many different designs and concepts. Many images are available to the general public, however don’t let that stop you from creating your own. It takes time to learn and find just the right design for your pieced top designs that are both images you love and that embrace the budding composition in your pieced top. There are a few basic guidelines you can follow in choosing how to quilt the pieced top. There are no right or wrong designs, however, some lend themselves more appropriately to one environment than another. They are a statement of your aesthetic taste your personal preference. Quilting design choices are an expression of the quilter. When successfully achieved, the dedicated quilter will enjoy an experience made in heaven. ![]() There is an abundance of information available on quilting, but I have found this statement more than adequately sums up the extraordinary quilting experience the pieced top and quilting design are like two individuals who, when discerningly matched, make perfect partners for the life of the quilt. I’ve been afforded a great deal of perspective from customers in both private and professional sectors, as their quilting needs are very different. When this topic was suggested, it appealed to me because of my experience quilting professionally. While a challenge at first, it’s been a joy to take lovely pieced tops and turn them into quilts. I have been a Longarmer for eight years and during that time it has been quite an experience to move from quilting my own quilts on the home sewing machine to a Gammill Plus Longarm. ![]() How to Pick the Right Quilting Design for Your Quilt ![]()

Hit “Shift + A” to add a new node, then start searching using the search bar that opens: We now need to add a “Distribute Points On Faces” node. I now delete the Geometry Nodes I created for the Donut, and switch to the Icing instead: We don’t want to alter the donut, but rather the icing (we are adding sprinkles). For instance, if we add a “set position” node and add a Z offset, the donut now moves (the output mesh position has been changed): The node on the right is the final mesh, after any changes made by our geometry nodes. The node on the left (Group Input) reads in the existing data for our mesh (for the donut, in this case). Note that if your nodes disappear, you can get them back by clicking on the “Geometry Nodes” modifier in the right-hand pane: Now, we click on “New” to create a new geometry node setup: We won’t be needing the window in the upper left that shows the positions of all our vertices, so we can close that: Click on that, and choose “General -> Geometry Nodes”. If you don’t see this, look for a little down arrow near the top right corner of the top menu bar. We’ll create a new Workspace (tab) at the top of blender, which will allow us to see our geometry node setup alongside our donut: This enables all sorts of cool stuff, from the ability to dynamically generate frost or icicles on a surface, to the ability to create buildings whose height, window position, and number of floors are all procedurally controlled. Much like the nodes we’ve used so far to create texture, geometry nodes allow use to procedurally generate changes to the mesh (changes to our objects). In previous versions of the donut tutorial, “particles” were used, but “geometry nodes” are a better option in Blender 3.x. Next, we want to add some sprinkles to the donut.
