I also am using my white lead mechanical pencil in the black areas. I have always loved this quilting design and am so glad to finally try it!

I plan on using black pearl cotton 16 to do the stitching and have a plan to add a cone flower border, but will have to see how it looks once I get the body of the quilt done. Thought some different color threads that tie in with the colors in the quilt would look nice and I love cone flowers.

I find they are much more affordable than the blue quilter's markers.Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551007238143198780.post-5132452785307636322013-12-10T07:00:01.207-06:002013-12-10T07:00:01.207-06:00So you are marking this with pencil or graphite???...So you are marking this with pencil or graphite???

It may not work, but I am hoping the big stitching will help it holds it's own. The goal is to get the fabrics and the quilting stitches to dance together without one or the other stepping on the other one's foot.Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551007238143198780.post-11159682983222397092013-12-09T09:26:58.875-06:002013-12-09T09:26:58.875-06:00love the pyramid quilt - I have made one of those ...love the pyramid quilt - I have made one of those too but just followed the design of the triangles for the quilting - you are putting a lot of effort into this and I'm sure it will be pretty quilted as it is already pretty pieced!Karen - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.com
