What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I want to add lots of quilting motifs to this project file, but am finding that less is better.

I haven’t got the right colour thread either … though most times I would use a colour which blends in to the background, but  try to use more contrast on virtual quilts.

I looked and looked for several minutes until I worked out what was different about the first design.

Finally worked out. It has 36 blocks   … an even number across and vertically … something I rarely do in real or virtual designs.

I left my favourite  until last today!

There is space for 25 applique blocks, but I left four of them blank for the quilting to shine, though there is a lot of space in the applique blocks in this design for the quilting to show.

Sometimes I have crazy ideas, like what if I select a random collection applique  block designs, and a random collection of pieced block designs for a new project file?

So I did … Jeparit Jewels  and some 9P stars.

I should have limited the number of designs in each of the block collections, but I didn’t.

After the first design came together I had to add fabric … and based the colours on the applique collection rather than the bright used in the stars.

So far, interesting!

I am not too sure if the  shapes of the applique will work well ...
