What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Pretty colours, pointy pieces.

I prefer the first, but would prefer the second on  my bed.

Pick a star block, and make some blocks as the instructions show, then make others with some of the coloured fabrics replaced by the background fabric. Note that some seam lines can be eliminated in th e background changes.

My favourite of these two is the second one, but it was a hard choice.

Interesting!

Looks like the stars are doing an intricate square dance!

No favourite today, I like them both.

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!

Bright … and very pointy. I love it!

The blocks are all variations of one block, which is a 12P block … drafted on a 12 x 12 grid.

The second design is more subdued though the colours are the same … just less of them.

Pretty colours which are more often seen in floral designs.

I like them both … no favourite today.

One block design, with a few, or many, pieces omitted here and there, with the quilting lines showing where the seam lines should be, and where some of them still are despite joining two pieces of the same fabric so there are no inset points anywhere.

These two designs are very similar … can you pick the difference?

I had to double check three times to make sure they were not identical.

Intricate blocks, but all straight seam piecing, and using the background fabric for some of the pieces to create the border. The first design is really a pieced medallion … a central block with three borders.

I love the second design.

One block design, but using the background fabric to hide some pieces of the full design.

I am not a fan of quilting in the ditch, but it would work for me in this sort of design.

I like the first design, but love the second one!

Just one block can be so versatile!

Love it, love it, love it!

A bit too busy, but I do like it, but it is not my favourite for today.

I have just noticed that i have used Mum’s favourite colour, purple, Dad’s favourite green, and Viv rather liked pink when she was little. The combination is one of my favourite combinations.

Jinny Beyer is my favourite quilter, and her use of colour is wonderful.

Interesting, and I like the colours. All the blocks are variations of just one block, and the quilting lines are also based on that one block.

More blocks, more interesting.
