Quilting Fillers

Quilting Fillers are the patterns of quilting that are stitched to fill in the secondary spaces of a quilting design. Quilting Fillers add texture and provide a background to highlight the primary quilting or quilt motif. The Quilting Fillers can be very simple or more complex. When choosing a filler design consider the overall spacing of the quilting, are the quilting designs geometric or organic and how the filler will impact the rest of the quilt and can be stitched by hand or machine.
