Quilt Too Small? from Lotus Cove Quilting

*Red and Blue shown at Durham Orange Quilters meeting, 2022*.

It’s been quite a while since I posted here. I’ll try to catch up, as I HAVE been making quilts. But today’s issue is a quilt that is too small.

In 2022, I finished a queen quilt for my own bed. All Kaffe Fassett fabrics with a bamboo batting. But both of us toss and turn all night and the sateen backing lets the quilt slide everywhere. So I’m adding new blocks to three sides.

Fortunately, old and recent Kaffe fabrics coordinate well. The quilt is ...

Boomerang - FREE 10" Transparency Quilt Block from easypatchwork

Hi there! Thanks for joining me today! Yes, I see that there wasn't but one post written in 2022 and this is the first post in 2023! We are going to have to change that!

I have been very busy the last few months exploring transparency in quilt blocks. When I was doing my research, I couldn't find any quilt samplers just a few blocks. Then I started to explore transparency in several different quilt blocks and decided we needed to change that too.

I don't want to give too much away, but I wanted to share ...

Pieced, Patched, Pretty and Sashed 9, 10 from Virtual Quilter

One day I was sick of playing with block designs, so started playing with sashing. the worst thing about this project file is the title, but I am yet to come up with something better.

Then I added some pieces to the blocks to interact with the sashing.

When I can think of a catchy title I have another project file which has been waiting for exposure for a long time with applique sashing.

Curved Cornerstones 71, 72, 73, 74, 75 from Virtual Quilter

Interesting. Very neat.

Wow! Anything but neat!

Small change, but it seems to be neater than the previous one.

A bit neater and tidier.

Different!

More Log Cabin designs mid week, next week.

EQ 12 + 49, 50 from Virtual Quilter

Nive one, with lots of room for quilting.

Changed the scale of one block to make more piecing of smaller pieces, removed some coloured sashing, and the effect is much daintier.

Pieced, Patched, Pretty and Sashed 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

I called this sashing a lot of names while trying to get it to connect nicely during design, most frequently it was “that Twisted Sashing”, though a few other words crept in from time to time!

I like both variations of the sashing, but I think the first one needs more work, while the second one is workable as it is.

One of my favourite colour combinations, and I love the results.

Love the second one too … no favourite from me, so make up your own mind!

Every so often I stop playing with block designs, and play with sashing designs instead.

As you can see in these designs the sashing can be used as border designs too.

And then of course, you can add some blocks with some tricky bits pieced to form a frame around an applique.

Another puppy from Jean's Quilting Page

One more dog made and a set of footprints. I am working on a layout now.

Playing with a couple of layouts. Ideas?

I'm leaning towards this one right now.
