What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I love playing with complex blocks by whiting out some of the design and replacing it with quilting motifs of the original complex block design.

Wow!! I love the second design.

A nice way to say goodbye to the old year … wishing you all a happy new year with family and friends.

Felicity’s Five Patch is the block in the middle of each side of the design above. All the other blocks are variations of that block, created by altering the placement of fabrics.

I think I like the first design best, but maybe that is because I misplaced two blocks in the second design.

Interesting.

More interesting.

Interesting blocks to play with in this project file.

I rather like the second design. The whole project is based on one block, and the variations are created by leaving bits out!

I don’t usually like busy, starry designs, especially if they have too much blue, but I do like the one above.

I can remember wandering around a quilt exhibition and stopping in front of a blue quilt. I loved every thing about it, even the blue. All the shapes and all the fabrics were in exactly the right place to make the overall design perfect, and it was a perfect example of contrast being more important than colour to make the design attractive.

Love the second design!

One block design, but using the background fabric to hide some pieces of the full design.

I am not a fan of quilting in the ditch, but it would work for me in this sort of design.

I like the first design, but love the second one!

Just one block can be so versatile!
