applique blocks as quilting motifs

Strawberry Fete 13, 14 from Virtual Quilter

I haven’t opened this project for years, but thought I would bring it back into the spotlight today, as I have a yearning for lovely fresh strawberries. Unfortunately, I will have to wait a while as it is too cold for strawberries to bear fruit at this time of the year here.

Enough to make my mouth water!

Judy’s Jumble 5, 6 from Virtual Quilter

Should have named this after my Mum … purple was her favourite colour.

Mmm! I didn’t turn all the quilting motifs around the right way … though perhaps I couldn’t decide which way was right!

I think I like the way it is on the right.

Aunt Flo’s Quilt 47, 48 from Virtual Quilter

Oh, so pretty!

I think I have made that comment many times, often about designs in this project file.

I think I love the second one just a little bit more than the second.

Fragile Floral 3, 4 from Virtual Quilter

Love the first design for today!

The second is way to busy, but it gives me a great reason to come back to this project file and make some changes.

EQ Mix ‘n’ Match 1, 2 from Virtual Quilter

All the blocks in this project file are designed using block designs from the Electric Quilt Block Library, but with the shapes mixed and matched with each other. Challenge for you is to identify the original blocks from the library.

My favourite is the second design!

I have been playing with the block designs for quite some time, but have concentrated on the mixing and matching, and have just started adding border versions and quilting motifs. Lots of play time ahead!

Ferns and Flora 29, 30 from Virtual Quilter

Interesting, and I like the quilting motif which is based on one of the applique block designs.

Love the second design.

Pansy’s Patch 3, 4 from Virtual Quilter

Love pansies growing in a garden, and love them in this design and the collection of blocks I am playing with to create the quilt designs. This is one of the few applique project files in which I use quilting motifs not related to the applique blocks.

Love the first design, but the second one is my favourite of today’s pair.

Annie Clover’s Christmas Quilts 17, 18 from Virtual Quilter

Traditional Christmas Colours, but if they are favourite colours these could be used all year round.

Love the outer blocks in the second design!

Bendigo Laceworks 5, 6 from Virtual Quilter

I love old buildings with wrought iron lace around the roof line and the veranda. Bendigo is one place to see a great collection. The colours I have used in this series represent the fertile soil around Bendigo, and other areas where mining was important in the early settlement period, and the farming communities which replaced the miners.

My favourite today is the second design.

Red and White Applique 5, 6 from Virtual Quilter

Red and white together looks stunning, but not something I would like in my bedroom. My favourite design today is the first one.

However, a lot of sporting fans barrack for teams who wear red and white, so there may be a lot of people who would love a red and white quilt on their bed.

Fiddlebobs OP 21, 22 from Virtual Quilter

Very interesting!

Very interesting, but maybe a bit too tangled up!

Interesting sashing, resulting in a lovely design.

Should have used interesting sashing!
