Aussie Banksia Carol 5, 6 from Virtual Quilter

Another variety of banksia, and some quilting motifs in coloured thread based on the applique designs.

I am enjoying playing with the scale of the flowers in these designs.

Aussie Banksia Carol 3, 4 from Virtual Quilter

I like the first design for today, complete with quilting motifs with two thread colours. Changing thread colours id easy when hand quilting, not so much when machining.

The second design is my favourite!

Aussie Banksia Carol 1, 2 from Virtual Quilter

I started playing with custom designs quite a fair while ago, and drew up a lot of pieced blocks with just vertical and horizontal lines to use. This morning I decided to try using one of them to introduce a new collection of blocks.

One of the first problems is that the blocks placed in assorted rectangles get rather distorted, so I spent time to redraw some blocks. Need more practice with this great idea.

I am rather pleased with the second design, though I admit that several versions got deleted along the way.
