What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Interesting mix of 5 patch blocks.

The colours in these two designs reflect Aussie weather in my part of the country as it is this month … it is supposed to be sunny, hot and dry, but is actually cloudy, hot and wet with occasional cool moments!

Interesting design, I like it!

Some quilting, but not a lot, but it would be enough to hold the layers together using some well bonded modern waddings.

Unusual, interesting and eye catching!

My comment is the same as the first, but with different added!

How to quilt the light areas in the second is a good question.

These designs use 5 Patch blocks, plus some blank spaces. I like empty spaces to show off quilting, but it also helps to show off the design created with the pieced blocks.

The second design doesn’t have blank blocks, but it still has spaces for some creative quilting.

I love the star blocks around the outside of the first design today.

I love the center block in the second when compared to the other very similar blocks … the only difference is the more open appearance due to a different fabric, the background fabric, used for eight very skinny triangles.

Different sort of colours for me, though still close to my favourite green, just different shades of green.

I bought a plant sometime ago, which I will plant when summer starts cooling a little, which will add a touch of contrast in the spot I intend placing it. If the description I have read is any indication it will look like the centre of the design.

Parts of the first design made me think of some weird earthmoving equipment, or may be a diagram of some of the pieces inside an equally weird computer system! Wonder what was in the early morning coffee today!

The second one makes me think of a quilt … the coffee must be wearing off!

I like the first design for today. It is a combination of two fairly basic 5 Patch blocks, with one more intricate design.

The second design has three more complex designs with one basic … I think this one works too.

Another one with two complex and one basic, and I love the colour change which links the design together.

Very feminine!

Not to mention, pretty!

The butterfly fluttering by is pretty too!

I like the first offering for today.

I like the second one more.

By the way, the Hi 5s in the title of this project file refers to the grid on which I drafted the blocks.
