And whenever I have time I have been handquilting my BIQR floor scrap quilt. I designed this celtic knot but I am not big on marking my quilts, I usually eyeball it.
But with this pattern I can't even draw it on paper without making a bit of a mess of it and it turns out all uneven. So I came up with making templates of the inner shapes and handquilting around them and then just eyeballing the rest.
Unfortunately, I should have spaced them farther apart, so that my double lines don't get too narrow, and I also had to take care that they looked like they were inter weaving.

great plan for the templates. I have enjoyed Bonnie's scrapbusting patterns.
I just finished a scrappy bargello top! Aren't they great? I'm going to have a long-armer quilt mine.
i love this quilt.....i have one of these on my 'want to' list...and i'm very impressed with your hand quilting!
Aren't the scrappy bargello quilts fun to make! I'm sure it will be well loved...
I love your way of using shapes to indicate the quilting design. That's new to me and seems like a stroke of genius.
Well, you're doing more than I would with your fancy border quilting! Good for you :- )
And congrats on the early finish on brother's quilt!
love how you came up with your own approach to handquilting template.
it can be tricky but what well worth it. love your brothers quilt-terrific job!
Congrats on the bargello finish - it looks great. what a wonderful present. I love the hand quilting you're doing, especially how you're winging it with a bit of guidance.
