What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Electric Quilt Library blocks with a couple of modifications, and though I sometimes leave the two files using the same blocks, this one with a straight setting, the other on point, untouched for months, I kick myself for not opening them more often because I love pretty much every quilt design.

Today’s designs have only a minor change, but I would find it hard to choose which one to make.

A very interesting design.

I opened this project file after letting it rest in peace for several years as I recently noticed a reference to the red and white exhibition of quilts several years ago.

I am not as impressed by the second design.

I don’t design many quilts with just one block repeated, but in this project file I have tried many of the blocks by themselves so that I see the way the corners of the blocks come together to form there own part of the pattern.

After a look at the way the corners look I go on to play with other blocks with the same corner design added to the mix. It is always interesting, and also fun.

Very interesting!

Piecing is rarely my first choice of making a quilt top, at least, not until the applique is finished, but I do like the first design today.

Also interesting, but I prefer the first one.

The white space around the centre block would need some rather creative quilting!

Most of the red and white series of projects were started in 2012, and to be perfectly honest, they need a lot of work to sort them out. All of them use the same twelve Nine Patch blocks, and I might have to start a new project instead, with a different set of blocks to round out the week of red and white designs, and cancel all of the current projects.

Here are the after coffee results of yesterday’s play time … the first one for today has some corner details added to the second version from yesterday.

In todays second version the corner detail and part of the side detail has disappeared.

In the final design the corner detail has appeared again, and I rather like the results!
