What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I like the first … the distortion of using block designs in odd shaped spaces in borders makes for very interesting borders.

I like the borders in the second design too, but was intrigued with the result of using a square applique block in the sashing, and exactly the same block in the sashing squares, but with different colouring.

Distortion again!

Thank goodness Electric Quilt will print out blocks as they are in a quilt design, not in the original shape as designed.

I like it, though I will point out that the gold bits, except the sleeping cat, are meant to look like quilting motifs.

Interesting. The gold quilting still looks more like applique, but there is some purple which looks like hand quilting! Will have to do some experiments to see what I can do to make it work out the way I want it too.

In the meantime, my favourite of these two is the second one.

Love the first, but then I always love spaces to fill with quilting …

… which means I also love the second design.

Love it!

Also love the second design.

The cat prefers the second, but I refuse to play favourites with these two.

Oh, so sweet!

This project file is pretty much all so sweet … a combination of dainty block designs and pretty colours.

I am slowly retiring project files, and this is one making it’s farewell appearance today.

I am well on the way to sorting blocks designs, which has included a lot of redrawing blocks, and will start using the new blocks, and associated quilting motifs, in new projects in the hopefully not too distant future. Will have to keep this selection of fabrics in mind for one of the new projects.

By the way, I use fabrics in the ...

I love it. In fact, I LOVE IT!

Love this one too.

And this one! Three out of three ain’t bad.
