9P Pretties from EQ5 11, 12 from Virtual Quilter

All the designs in this project file look very washed out, which is what you would expect of real quilts as old as these designs!

The second one must have been bleached at some time. I think I was experimenting to see just how little contrast is needed to make the block designs interesting … at the time I was learning to draw pieced blocks by adding all the block designs I had scribbled on piles of paper to my EQ library.

Tiled Applications 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

I love the first design … very pale colours on an even paler background … so pretty, and restful.

Still love the second with a heavier border, but the soft contrasts still appeal to me a great deal.

A Whiter Shade of Pale 29, 30 from Virtual Quilter

Love the idea of a very low contrast quilt like these, but I don’t think I want to live with one.

At least that saves me the task of picking out one design to make!
