quilting motifs from pieced blocks

Virtual Wholecloth Quilt 9, 10 from Virtual Quilter

A puzzle for today …. find the lines which should be changed. I love the overall design, but have noticed a few of the lines based on pieced blocks which are not quite the way I intended them to be.

This is an old project file, and was done before I had access to wide fabrics, so added a small border to cover up some of the joins I would have to include to get a king size quilt.

Annie Clover’s Curved Illusions 31, 32 from Virtual Quilter

No illusion of pieced curves in the first design, but look at the quilting.

Now there are illusions of curves in both pieced and quilting areas of the design.

Sea Link Starr 13, 14 from Virtual Quilter

This project uses one fairly complex block, but the block is modified by leaving out pieces, or using the background colour for a portion of the pieces. In the first design the complete block is not used at all, but every shape used in the base block is used in the quilting motif.

I love the second one! In this one the complete block is used 24 times, the rest have quite a lot of coloured pieces missing.

An alternative to using teh background fabric would be to use very low contrast pieces … something I haven’t tried, but could ...

Pieced Patched and Pretty Quilted 15, 16 from Virtual Quilter

Love the design above, and I am interested in what it might look like with a colour update, but at this time of the year I am not getting a lot of play time at the computer. Something to add to the list of things to do in 2023.

Second designis also interesting, and would like time to play with the contrast as well as the colouring.

That quilt in reality would make a nice warm welcome to a bedroom. I love this design.

I like the second design, but it is overshadowed by the first one.

Felicity’s Five Patches 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

Felicity’s Five Patch is the block in the middle of each side of the design above. All the other blocks are variations of that block, created by altering the placement of fabrics.

I think I like the first design best, but maybe that is because I misplaced two blocks in the second design.

Vivienne’s Star Quilt 17, 18 from Virtual Quilter

Interesting blocks to play with in this project file.

I rather like the second design. The whole project is based on one block, and the variations are created by leaving bits out!

Patricia’s Patches OP 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

I love the first design!

This project file could almost double as a Christmas collection with the red, green and gold colour scheme.

Pieced Patched and Pretty Quilted 13, 14 from Virtual Quilter

Pretty!

Also pretty!

Love the combination of the applique and pieced blocks and the quilting motifs.

Vivienne’s Star Quilt 13, 14 from Virtual Quilter

Pretty colours which are more often seen in floral designs.

I like them both … no favourite today.

Brooksea 21, 22 from Virtual Quilter

Looks like a very interesting puzzle.

The second design uses two used in the first, but with totally different results.
