What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Another project file containing fiddly designs, this time set on point. I love the colours!

Almost the same as the first, up until the final row of blocks.

I had a glimpse of some antique quilts a week ago, and these designs would have blended in well.

I love the second one.

A very interesting design, though the colours in this project file are rather dull.

Love the way the clusters of four appliques form an interesting circle when set on point. They don’t do that when in a straight setting.

Love the centre, but I am not very impressed with the surroundings.

Wow! What a difference a few clicks can make! Love the result.

Interesting, though I keep turning my head to a 45 degree angle to see what the blocks look like on the straight!

I like the second one. Not my usual number of blocks in a design, but could be made with larger blocks to make a double or queen size quilt.

Another project file of on point quilt designs. I love the star with the white background in the design above.

The second design is very interesting!

I liked playing with these blocks in the straight setting, so decided to try setting them on point.

I love the second design!

Will have to start adding quilting motifs to both the project files in the very near future.

All the blocks in this project file, and others which have the EQ prefix, are designs direct from the Electric Quilt Block Library. Though i have to admit that I did play with one of the blocks. The centre block in the design above is from the library, which I divided to make four corner blocks. Well, one corner block which I can turn around to use in four corners.

I like the first design as there is is room for quilting to provide interesting texture.

Also like the second design which also has space for added texture after outlining ...

I like the first design! Very interesting.

A bit different to the average pieced patchwork quilt. The blocks are 7 patch and set on point.

Interesting! Very basic blocks on point.

Love the second one!

Starry night, even though there are just five star blocks!

I should start a new project file with the same fabric choices as this one, but with all star blocks.

I am trying to break away from pink, purple and green!

This project file has been sitting around being ignored for two years, probably because it is in colors I wouldn’t want to live with. However, strong colours in a dull environment can liven up the surroundings.

I love the second design, but I admit that it would lose a lot of impact if it was in my preferred colour range.

Interesting!

Love the second design.

All my life Christmas decorations were based around red, white and green with gold stars, but in the last few years various shades of blue have become popular. I love the design just as they are, but would put them away for Christmas, or maybe decorate a spare room in these colours.

Love the second design.

This project file has blocks direct from the Electric Quilt library.

I love the border around the first design.

Hmmm … the colouring in the second design is sort of Christmassy … anyone would think that I have let some of my Christmas decorations out of storage.

I started s project file with blocks from the Electric Quilt block library, modified some of them, and played with them. Eventually I got sick of using them in straight settings, and tipped them on point in a new project, and I love the results.

The second design is interesting, but my favourite is the first one, more for the colour placement than the actual layout.

I much prefer applique over piecing, but I love playing with this project file.

The blocks are constructed with fairly basic piecing techniques, but the results could be intriguing.

Love the way the curved blocks are holding hands to create a border!

I like the combination of assorted frames in the second design.

The EQ Dozen project files were amongst the first project files created for the Virtual Quilter blog, and I still like playing whenever I open them … not that I need to as there are plenty of designs in there to cover quite a few more blog posts!

I like the first design best of these two, but the second one is rather interesting.

Blocks are from the Electric Quilt library, with a few modifications by me. Love the first one.

Love the second one too.
