What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Interesting … and in one of my favourite colours.

I am looking forward to being old so I can wear purple!

I like to have at least two colour strips around the edge of the blocks in a quilt, at least an inch or two of one, then a contrast binding. That is the minimum for me, and most times I use two before the binding.

I might have to add some narrow borders tot he designs waiting in this project file.

I like the first design, but should have added a dark block to the centre.

I like to mix light, medium and dark in designs, and find it more interesting than I thought with just one of each rather than more of a mixture.

I like playing with contrast as much as colour, like the three shades of purple against a very pale background fabric.

Even with three different colours I would choose fabrics ranging from very light to very dark.

My favourite today is the second one.

Interesting. I have noticed that i am starting to use purple a lot. It was my Mum’s favourite colour, and I got to like it when I made my parents a quilt, and Mum got to choose the colours. I am going to have to add some different colours to some of the purple projects.

I love the second design!

Regular visitors may have noticed that there are a lot of new pattern projects making their debut over the last few months. I was getting a bit tired of some of the project files I had started much earlier ...

Count the Kittens, leftovers from Jessica's Heart (which is not finished yet. The top is done but not sandwiched etc.) This was fun to put together. I had lots of the little ...
