What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Love this one …

Love this one more!

I love making blocks merge into the background so they become part of the overall design rather than individual blocks.

I selected 10 pieced blocks, and modified some of them, some of the time for this series.

I love the border, which is basic Nine Patch blocks with the contrast placed a little differently to the way it would normally be used … and used on point just to confuse the viewer!

Not as simple as yesterday’s simply quilted design.

But it is simply stunning … even with a mistake!

One block, with a few seam lines missing here and there.

Much more fun than making exactly the same block over, and over, and over …

Love both designs.

The block was named after my Mum’s big sister.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Some basic 9 Patch blocks, along with some not so basic.

I like it.

I am wondering how long it will take me to go through every project file and convert it to EQ8, which I have been doing since EQ8 arrived in November. I have put a few files into retirement after I shared the last designs, and didn’t feel like playing in that area of my playground again, but most get a design or two added, or a face lift with new fabrics, sometimes I add the quilting layer. Opening some projects is like opening the door ...

I like it, and love the borders created by some very basic 9 patch blocks.

The rather cryptic title means that I took ten basic blocks, modified them a bit, and added  not quite solid colours.

A very rich colour scheme, another series of designs in colours which could be used all year round.

This one could be called ‘Starry, Starry Night.’

Still love this series. It was one of the first ones I started when I realized that I needed to have a few spare designs on hand if I was going to add a quilt design here everyday.

It started a passion for exploring designs using a small collection of blocks, and I am still amazed at just how many designs can be created using, in this case, just nine basic blocks.
