A Whiter Shade on Gold Quilted 25, 26 from Virtual Quilter

I love seeing old buildings with iron lace decorations, and would love to see new iron lace trims.

I also like playing with quilt designs with low contrast, and have a collection of projects featuring iron lace designs with low contrast.

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.

Q and A Iron Lace 13, 14 from Virtual Quilter

I love the iron lace on older houses, and would love some applique lace quilts on the beds, but I already have too many quilts.

Love the second design!

The blank spaces in all my designs with quilting motifs would be filled with simple background fillers, with my first preference being straight lines or cross hatching, either vertical/or diagonal, and would use a thread matching the background for the fillers, contrast for the motifs. The applique pieces would also be outlined just outside the pieces.

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.

Colours are not very inspiring, but I rather like this project file, including the two designs selected for today.

The first one is my favourite.

Choose any two colours, cut background squares from one, lacework designs from the other.

I like both designs, and as I haven’t finished my morning coffee I am not going to try to pick a favourite.
