Top Trends in Quilting and Embroidery Designs
Artists and quilt hobbyists are always looking for new ways to create unique designs from their quilt blocks. To accommodate new styles and techniques, machine embroidery designs for quilting can be constantly updated. These are the top trends for 2022.
Statement quilts
Statement quilts are created to express emotion, communicate a message or provide a focal point in a room. Many people use quilting to express their thoughts and feelings. A statement quilt can make you feel empowered or humbled when you see it.
Bold colors with negative spaces
Modern machine embroidery designs are driven by the combination of negative spaces and brightly colored blocks. Negative space allows the viewer to see secondary colors and gives them a rest from the quilt’s bold colors.
Two-tone quilts
You can create a striking, two-toned quilt by using a minimalist approach in coloring. You can still create a striking design by strategically placing the blocks of the quilt to complement the colors. This is a great example of how to get viewers’ attention without overwhelming them.
Textures
Quilts can be used in many different ways and are very versatile. Hobbyists and quilters alike are focusing on how the blocks feel, as well as their appearance when building them. To create a trendy texture bomb, you could add chenille or fuzzy fabric to your quilt.
Improv piecing
Improv piecing, a method of quilting that bypasses traditional methods such as a clear vision and a planned stitching strategy, is an alternative. The crafter lets their intuition and imagination take control of quilt-making, choosing random pieces of fabric to sew together. Improv piecing is a way to explore ideas without limitations, and it’s why so many artists love it.
