Quilting Sketch Book......Background Filler Design

Here's a FUN background fill design:

Hair Bands

It can be used around applique work or to

fill any negative space on traditional

or art quilts.

Hair Bands Tutorial:

Chalk out wavy lines on the fabric

Begin by adding hair band shapes...

these remind me of the brown, plastic 

hair bands I wore when I was in grade school.

Complete the first row of hair bands

Begin the second row of hair bands...

going in the opposite direction

First 2 rows are completed...

Add your third row of hair bands...

going in the opposite direction

Three rows of hair bands completed...

You get the idea...

Fill up all available space with

Hair Bands

There is no travel stitching.

For a Wonky Look...

Angle the chalk lines for a wonky look.

Works great on art quilts!

Inspiration from the Flower Beds:
