Sometimes wavy diagonal lines are the perfect choice for finishing your quilt top. If your quilt has points that go across the quilt, but not in a perfectly straight line, these can be used as “landmarks” for stitching. Wavy random lines give a modern feel to a quilt and are easy to sew.
A big spiral (or two) is a fun quilting design. It adds a lot of interest. Often it reminds people of a record.
If you struggle with keeping your vertical lines straight, wavy lines are the perfect solution. Like the kid who says “I meant to do that”, take something that others think is a mistake and make it a design choice. It looks great!
Diagonal lines are a type of straight line quilting design with lines that do not go parallel to the edges of the quilt. A diagonal grid of 45* is a classic quilting design that is commonly used on traditional quilts. But there are a lot of options for different angles. Use your piecing as inspiration.
Matchstick lines are straight vertical lines on steroids. Matchstick quilting involves parallel straight lines very close together. This design adds a lot of texture as well as colour.
If the Martha Washington Star quilt block seems a bit familiar, it probably is. The flying geese around the outside are just like a Sawtooth Star quilt block, but the inside is a fun pinwheel.
