applique designs as quilting motifs

Red and White Applique 1, 2 from Virtual Quilter

Once I had found some red and white pieced designs for yesterday’s post, I thought I should start an applique project. The first design above is not the first design I did, but I did a lot of changes to every design and the order got mixed up quicker then the fabric choices.

I found that the hardest part was finding assorted red and white fabrics as some are too pink, some have too much yellow and look orange, but I eventually found a small collection of red and white fabrics which had similar reds, but with enough variety ...

Q and A Fine Iron Lace 25, 26 from Virtual Quilter

I love iron lacework on old buildings, and love the idea of quilts made with similar designs.

Not a lot of applique in the second design, even the border is quilted only.

Classy Pieces 11, 12 from Virtual Quilter

Cheerful colours, interesting design.

This project file was started while demonstrating at a quilt exhibition a few years ago. I selected some blocks, added colours, then started designing quilts. Spent more time talking to friends old and new than concentrating on playing with the blocks, but did spend some time talking about the Electric Quilt program and what is can do with those who wanted more information. I know at least one of them is now using the program.

All of the above plus some quilting!

Tangled Irish Chain Apps 17, 18 from Virtual Quilter

More Irish tangles, with both applique and quilting included. The pieced blocks are easy, the applique is only a small portion of the quilt.

Love the first …

…. and the second!

Fiddlebobs OP 19, 20 from Virtual Quilter

Fiddling!

More fiddling, and now I have a new block in this project file to fiddle with. I was going to use it in this design but it didn’t really look right.

Fine Iron Lace Q and A 23, 24 from Virtual Quilter

I always have to look hard at the iron lace decorating old buildings, and have been guilty of driving around the block to find a parking spot so I can have a better look, and maybe take a photo, several times.

The designs in this project file, and several others I have filed away, have some applique, and some quilting motifs based on the applique designs in the project along with some blank spaces. In a real quilt I would fill in those blank spaces with quilting in a thread colour which matches the background fabric, while the quilting design ...
