Bev’s Beaut Floral 5, 6 from Virtual Quilter

In this project I am using settings mixing different size blocks to create a very individual layout.

Look closely at the second design to see what shape the blocks are … not all of them are square.

Jeparit Jewels and Stars 5, 6 from Virtual Quilter

Interesting mix of blocks to play with, plus colours I like, room for quilting motifs and some background fillers. For me there is nothing to not like about this project file.

I love the second design!

Darianne’s Delight 3, 4 from Virtual Quilter

This project file is a new recent addition to my toy box … but I am having fun adding more blocks, changing fabrics, though some fabrics are still plain.

I like the pale backgrounds … I have never tried using such pale fabrics in borders, but it looks very restful.

Q and A Iron Lace 17, 18 from Virtual Quilter

These two have quilting!

I love the applique block used in this design.

The first is my favourite, but I like both of them.

After Pompeii 67, 68 from Virtual Quilter

Very interesting.

The second one could use some quilting designs to finish it off.

Desert Flora 19, 20 from Virtual Quilter

Sturt Dessert Peas grow after rain in desert conditions …

…. but are hard to grow in an average garden.

Easier to depict them on a quilt.

I love the second design!

Sunny Coneflowers 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

Inspired by the sunflowers which grow in the garden next door …

…. filling the view from my kitchen window.

Anne’s Autumn Annuals 9, 10 from Virtual Quilter

The borders around this one I think should be used closer to the centre … too delicate to use around the outside of a large quilt.

I like the second design a lot more, and it could be used as the centre of a larger quilt.

Deena’s Delight OP 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

Very pretty, but very formal too. I love the colours!

What if … I turn the flowers by 45 degrees? It didn’t turn out like I thought, but with a bit of extra play I think it might work!

Iron Lace Borders Q’n’A 23, 24 from Virtual Quilter

If you drive through a town in Australia and there is lots of wrought iron around verandas and balconies it is usually a town which had a foundry. A lot of towns have at least some, but mining areas have more on older buildings, even if the mines are long closed.

Once I started drawing quilt designs I went through photos I had taken of the buildings and thought the lace work designs could be interesting as applique designs with some modifications, and then they became quilting designs too.

Fragile Floral 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

Love the criss-cross in the centre of the first one.

There is still a hint of something similar in the second, but much more subdued.

Pansy’s Patch 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

The first one is lovely ….

… but I love the second one more than the first.

Aussie Banksia Anna 1, 2 from Virtual Quilter

This project file has been sitting in my Electric Quilt library for far too long.

The blocks have been there, along with sampler quilts, but no virtual designs, until this morning.

Only have to find some quilting motifs now.

Aussie Banksia Carol 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

Different leaves, but the flowers are the same. There are several species of the Banksia shrubs with an interesting collection of leaf shapes.

My favourite today is the second one.

Aussie Banksia Betty 3, 4 from Virtual Quilter

Interesting how the corner blocks round off the corners in the first design. I like it!

I also like the second design with one of the applique designs used as a quilting feature.

Patricia’s Patches 25, 26 from Virtual Quilter

I like the first of today’s pair of designs.

However, the second one is my favourite of the pair.

9 Patch ‘n’ Apps 7×7 33, 34 from Virtual Quilter

WOW!!! Love the first design.

The colours could be a bit brighter, but the contrast is spot on, and the quilting design works well. though the quilting could use a little more detail.

The second design looks unfinished without the applique border in the first design, and the quilting could use a little more detail.
