What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Some piecing but more applique … and space for quilting to feature. Everything I like in one quilt design.

A little bit of playtime, and I still like it, but prefer the first design.

Note that all the blocks are from the Electric Quilt Block Library.

Interesting.

My favourite for today is the second one, especially the border and the applique blocks.

Wow! Puzzle time!

If I was quilting these designs I would be adding some quilted lines of beads to link up the applique blocks.

I like it … old fashioned and restful.

I like the second one too, for the same reasons, but like it more than the first because there is applique!

One simple shape … one multi coloured fabric plus a border fabric.

All those simple shapes could be cut from small scraps.

Of all the shapes I have used to design quilts, this simple shape would have to be the most versatile.

Spring has sprung down under … well, at least the calendar has been turned over. Many of the spring bulbs jumped into action early despite a rather cold winter, and almond blossoms have been and gone.

I think I should plant a creeper on that trellis … or perhaps embroider one!

This is a result of trying to draw a block to use instead of sashing an on point applique quilt. It is OK, but not what I was trying to do, so have abandoned the attempt. I am showing you the two quilts I designed and will keep the block in my library, more as a curiosity than a because does what I wanted to do.

The reason it doesn’t appeal to me is that where the blocks meet at the corners looks a bit awkward.

I will continue to play with the block design until it works as ...

Interesting.

Love the second one.

I love this one too.

So very different to anything I would normally even think of doing, so have to admit it was a mistake, but not a mistake I regret making!
