What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Mitzy brought this vibrant quilt.  The pattern is called Daisy Chain from Melissa Marginet.  

The focus fabric she chose is a really cool beaded flower print, which guided the decision to use the floral themed Dainty pantograph.  We tested a variety of thread colors before settling on So Fine #450 - Spring Green.  It blended well into all the fabrics and didn't draw too much attention to itself.

Susan brought this wonderful quilt that is made from the Maple Island Quilts BQ3 pattern.  The series of BQ patterns have large pieces that allow you to enjoy a print without chopping it up too mauch.

We decided on the Dainty pantograph as it also has a bit of a larger scale and seemed to balance with the piecing and the prints really well.
