What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

A new project file to play with … so far nothing exciting, but I am interested enough to keep playing, though it is rare for me to cancel a project file once I have found a name.

A very basic design above, but an indication that it could get more interesting.

Interesting mix of 5 patch blocks.

The colours in these two designs reflect Aussie weather in my part of the country as it is this month … it is supposed to be sunny, hot and dry, but is actually cloudy, hot and wet with occasional cool moments!

Interesting! I always like a touch of tartan amongst the Christmas decorations … the pageant in our state capital always has at least one pipe band marching along with the floats, and my parents were friends with members of a band. was always fun to pick out the familiar faces!

Our local pageant was last night, so there are not many sleeps left before Christmas day.

The first design today is rather smart.

The way the pieced blocks frame the applique blocks in the main part of the quilt is very interesting.

Interesting.

I like this one, and wondering if it would look OK with a wider variety of colours.

Interesting design, I like it!

Some quilting, but not a lot, but it would be enough to hold the layers together using some well bonded modern waddings.

Very interesting design.

Different, but not as interesting as the first design for the day.

Another project file of on point quilt designs. I love the star with the white background in the design above.

The second design is very interesting!

Unusual, interesting and eye catching!

My comment is the same as the first, but with different added!

How to quilt the light areas in the second is a good question.

Very interesting!

The second design is a bit dull compared to the first, but I like it.

Exciting!

Not very often I say that about any pieced quilt design, real or virtual, but that was my first reaction looking at this one this morning when I had decided to use this project file for today’s virtual designs.

Second design is ok, but not exciting.

Nice.

Very nice!

I love the star blocks around the outside of the first design today.

I love the center block in the second when compared to the other very similar blocks … the only difference is the more open appearance due to a different fabric, the background fabric, used for eight very skinny triangles.

I like it!

Like the second design too, but the winner today is the first one by far.

Interesting, but I don’t ever see myself making such a pink quilt!

Not a lot less pink, but this one would be much easier to live with!

I am not a great fan of pieced quilts, but I like these designs, influenced at least a little by the applique border.

Love the second one!

Not too sure whether I like the colours or not, but do love the fabric designs, and the colours work in the design.

Too much white in the second, but I like the design overall.

Different sort of colours for me, though still close to my favourite green, just different shades of green.

I bought a plant sometime ago, which I will plant when summer starts cooling a little, which will add a touch of contrast in the spot I intend placing it. If the description I have read is any indication it will look like the centre of the design.

Like the design above.

Like the second one more!Christmas Hi 5s 17

Very pretty colours, and a rather nice design.

The second design is the same layout with modified blocks.
