What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Dad’s favourite colour was green, Mum’s was purple. 

They also  attract bees  and butterflies into gardens.

I didn’t have favourite colours until I put these two together.

I think I should look for a green between the one in the background of these two designs.

I started tis project file when I was asked to show how I played my favourite game …

… virtual quilt designing.

I have had Electric Quilt since EQ5, and it is now EQ8, and love it. I started this blog simply to encourage others to keep asking themselves the question I ask myself … “What if …?”

What id I change the background colour, just a little bit or a lot? I prefer the little bits I changed for the first one. I also love the butterfly.

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!

I like it a lot.

I like the second one more!

I cannot think of a word to describe the design above, but I know that boring is certainly not the word.

Second design, same thoughts as the first.

I love the purple and green combination, but not sure that the background fabric is the best choice.

Love the change of background colour, and the space it provides for quilting to shine.

I was looking for something different in the colour scheme for this project file, and I am surprised at how well purple, yellow and green work together.

Love the first one.

And the second one too.

This project was started when I did a demonstration ages ago, and started as many of my projects did … I selected a random collection of blocks from the Electric Quilt Library.

Then I started playing! I have since tidied up the designs I saved half done, with blocks facing the wrong way, and even blank spaces … I have trained myself to save often, but when demonstrating and people stop to chat I tend to get a little distracted.

Sometimes I save at just the right time, and the design above was one I didn’t have to edit!
