North American Quilling Guild Official Shape Chart The following is a list of the recognized shapes and techniques the NAQG deems to be the basic shapes used in quillwork. Although each and every shape has numerous variations, these are the ones felt to be most commonly used by quillers. The NAQG official accepted name for each shape is listed under the photo. Alternate names are listed to the right. There seems to be no set standard amongst the various books, kits, self published instructions, or brochures as to the exact name for each quilled shape. The shape names seem to be randomly applied by whoever designs a quilled item or writes about one. Therefore any alternate names used to describe the shape (that the NAQG is aware of) have been included to help identify which shape is being referenced. Literally dozens of variations can be created from these basic shapes and most of them have no specific name. Other shapes have one or more variations that are given an “official” name as in the teardrop or marquise shapes. Both have a recognized variation with a separate name, i.e. shaped teardrop or shaped marquise. The hundreds of other variations are only known as an alteration of the original basic shape from which they were created.
