piping/ stuffing quilt making examples





Here I've taken images of examples of piping and stuffing technique used in quilt making, these were some examples I got to see in my first quilt making session in order to have a broader understanding of how to do certain techniques in quilt making. The first two images contain examples of a way to create a type of piping effect by creating equally spaced stitch lines and then pulling a chunky yarn in between the two layers. I think this technique is very interesting as you could include a variety of objects or fibres as the piping between the fabrics, this could change the effect easily if thicker, harder objects were to be used as the piping. These examples look extremely quaint and somehow fragile as the piping or stuffing of the examples is a soft chunky yarn. This technique is shown to be used in both very different way as the first two examples show a more structure and geometric effect, whereas the last two images is created more elegantly using the method to create a loose, delicate floral pattern. These examples of quilt making has inspired me to research more into creating a structural and bold type of sample, this effect could maybe be created by using heavier, harder, thicker stuffing/piping or maybe by creating a more structural geometric print using this technique.
