Floral Wedding 61, 62 from Virtual Quilter

Love the green appearing in the background as it is now the end of a dry winter and there has been very little green on the ground … there has even been less weeds in the garden. (Not a lot less though.)

I love the second design, especially the centre!

Perhaps it is the extra green that makes it more attractive to me.

Clamshells 15, 16 from Virtual Quilter

Love the Clamshell borders in the first design. The applique block is there only to show off the borders!

The inner border has clamshells turned inside out, but the same size. It makes a lovely border like that, but in the second design the outer side of the clamshells is larger than the inner side … I am not sure I like it like that, but it was interesting enough to keep.

Nan’s Nine Patches 43, 44 from Virtual Quilter

Very interesting border … not too sure I would ever use it on any real quilt … but interesting to play with in the virtual world!

Very busy, but also interesting.

Five Patch Fragments OP 19, 20 from Virtual Quilter

Interesting design first up today.

On point setting makes the blocks appear very different to what they look like in a straight setting.

I think I like the second one best today.

9P Pretties from EQ5 15, 16 from Virtual Quilter

Today’s designs come from a project file started in Electric Quilt 5 …. I am now using EQ8.

Most of the blocks came from the EQ library, but there are a few of the original blocks I was adding back then. Those blocks had been scribbled onto paper, and transferred to graph paper, but still with pencils. Now I draw new ideas in EQ8, though I still scribble some onto paper if I have an idea when the computer is not close by.

Most of the quilt designs in the project have a mixture of traditional blocks and my own ...

Autumn Patches 25, 26 from Virtual Quilter

Mostly brown with a touch of green of plants that are looking forward to some winter rain … that is autumn here in Australia.

My favourite today is the second design as I like the change of blocks around the centre blocks..

Border Beauties 65, 66 from Virtual Quilter

I love the strip borders with tangled corners, but would like to be able to redraft the applique borders to be more symmetrical, perhaps by removing the inner applique border around the centre block, or making it wider.

I love the second design … the applique is minimal, but well balanced, and there is a lot or room for some fairly simple quilting to shine. I would avoid too many busy feathers, but would use the fan shape used in the applique with a fair bit of background filling.

Maria’s Medallion 9, 10 from Virtual Quilter

I don’t see a great number of medallion quilts anywhere, but they are a great way to make a square quilt for double and king size beds. I have to admit the I don’t design a lot either, and this is the last two designs in my one and only current project file which feature medallion quilt designs.

My favourite of these two designs is the second one.

Kelly’s Custom Quilts from Virtual Quilter

Electric Quilt 8 will turn a pieced block into a quilt setting if all the shapes in the block are straight lines. If you use a square block in a long rectangle the design is stretched to fit the shape, which is sometimes a stunning result, sometimes not so good.

Love the open spaces to show off the quilting in the second design.

Maria’s Medallion 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

Make one block, add borders, and you have a medallion quilt.

I love the second one.

Beaded Border Strings 23, 24 from Virtual Quilter

One day I played with String of Beads border designs, including getting those borders around corners. The first design shows five identical borders, each with a different corner block.

The second design shows different borders and different corner blocks.

The project file has 20 different borders, with 140 different corners, and some of the corners fit a couple or more different borders.

Interesting sashing, resulting in a lovely design.

Should have used interesting sashing!

Patch Play 39, 40 from Virtual Quilter

I like the first design …

… but I like the second one more!

Note the change in contrast between the small designs and the centre and the ones in the corners. That is a simple way to add depth to any design … same shapes but change the contrast to the background.

Deena’s Delight OP 1, 2 from Virtual Quilter

I liked playing with these blocks in the straight setting, so decided to try setting them on point.

I love the second design!

Will have to start adding quilting motifs to both the project files in the very near future.
