Anne’s Autumn Annuals 5, 6 from Virtual Quilter

Interesting.

I like the second one best, but both need some more play time.

Rose Roxanne 5, 6 from Virtual Quilter

My favourite today is number one.

However I like number two nearly as much.

Floppy Petals 5, 6 from Virtual Quilter

I can only dream of an orderly garden, but I can keep virtual gardens neat and tidy.

Love the first design.

I like the second design too.

Fairy Dots 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

Pretty and dainty, which is what we expect of fairies.

I have spent quite a few hours playing with the fairy dot blocks, and now have a library of 200 in which the basic floral has been twisted and tuned every which way. Once I put them into a quilt layout I can use something I designed as a border block turned inside out to be part of the diagonal border within the overall design.

I wonder how many virtual quilt designs could be made from the 200 blocks, and that is without using a wider mix of fabrics so ...

Petal Power 11, 12 from Virtual Quilter

A bit of contrast to the colouring of yesterday’s blocks!

I like the second design best … the change of border makes quite a difference. The first one was nice, but it faded away around the edge … the second design has a stronger finish.

Helen’s Hybrids 3, 4 from Virtual Quilter

I like the applique, but love the quilting lines, and am going to play some more with this project file.

Love the second design, but I am wondering if I can mix up the quilting designs from these two designs. Could be interesting!

Amazing Asters 3, 4 from Virtual Quilter

I love to see a fair bit of quilting, but too much complex quilting detracts from the pieced and applique work which goes into making a quilt. The first design has quilting motifs based on the applique blocks, but maybe a little bit of space for cross hatching or just parallel lines would look better.

It is finals time so sport id featuring most of the time on the box, so as I was not in the mood to read last night I spent quite a bit of time looking at a quilt thrown over a chair right in my ...

Tina’s Trumpet Flower 3, 4 from Virtual Quilter

Sort of looks like a couple of patches in my garden where the jonquils have gathered. Project for the future should be to draw some jonquils and daffodils.

I like the second one … very interesting.

Vera’s Variety 1 from Virtual Quilter

Interesting design, but probably a bit long for the average single bed.

I like the second design, and it is a bit shorter.

Butterfly Floral 1, 2 from Virtual Quilter

I was playing with some flower designs when I thought that they looked a bit like a butterfly, so gave them a few tweaks and added a couple of stamens.

Mmm … I have a collection of butterfly applique designs … I wonder how many of them would work if I added a stem and some greenery!

Tina’s Trumpet Flower 1, 2 from Virtual Quilter

I couldn’t resist sharing this new project file, and setting myself a new challenge. If I can start sharing 25 new project files in 6 months, lets see if I can keep it up for the next 6 months … one a week.

I like these two designs, and suspect I will find quite a few more with the blocks I have already added to the file, and by comparison to some of the floral cross collections I have built up, there a lot more blocks to add to this one.
