The entire reason I decided to start doing Zentangle drawing is because I was hoping it would help me with my quilting. I wanted to be able to see a space and fill it with designs. Now, I haven’t figured out how to do the shading or filling in, but the line drawings of Zentangle translate quite nicely to quilting.
I’ve been working on my March goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes and have finished all the quilting. All that’s left is binding but before I can do that I need to make my Do Good Stitches blocks. In the mean time here are some pictures of the back of my quilt.
This design was inspired by the Zentangle design called Paradox. I started with a triangle of blue tape on my quilt. I used my walking foot to outline the triangle and then removed the tape. Every subsequent line I eyeballed. I continued adding triangles until the bottom half of the quilt was filled. Here is an in progress shot:
I added some boxy spirals in my background fabrics and some wishbones in my main fabrics to finish the quilt. The wish bones were the only part that I did with my free motion foot, the rest of the quilting was all done with my walking foot.
I have to say that this is the quilt that I am the most proud of the quilting. I worked really hard on it and I love how it turned out. Once I get the binding on maybe then I will be ready to reveal the front…we shall see!
Happy Tuesday!
