What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Interesting but a bit tangled up!

Almost the same design, with some extra applique in the border, and the colours have been stirred a bit!

Very dark, but very interesting.

I wonder if these designs would be as interesting if they faded a lot.

Even darker, but I like it!

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.

Love the first design, and think it would look great in pretty colours, bright colours … any colours … providing the contrast is right.

Slightly more masculine than the first, and I like it.

I cannot think of a word to describe the design above, but I know that boring is certainly not the word.

Second design, same thoughts as the first.

I love the purple and green combination, but not sure that the background fabric is the best choice.

Looks like an antique! I love it, but the border is a bit too dark for the centre.

Now the border is too wide … far too wide!

I think I might just have a play with the designs in this project … the weather is promising to be wet and cold, so need something to do inside!

Autumn days are here, and today I hope to get my hands dirty while emptying some plant pots … I have to do some clearing of weeds first, but have made up my mind which plants to put where.

I like the design above, but I suspect that some weed seeds are looking at the spaces for quilting and thinking that they can grow there.

Third design is rather interesting, but I must leave the internet and go play in the dirt.

PS Well, I got my hands dirty, but I didn’t hit the publish button before I left the ...

Looks rather like a vintage quilt.

Not much vintage about the second design though. I like both of them … no favourite today.

I started this project file in 2013, when reproduction fabrics and designs were very popular. I still like that look.

I love the design above! It would appeal to me in whatever fabrics in any colours were used.

The final design is a bit busy … would appeal to me more with less applique, or different applique blocks.

Love it!

Love this one too!

I like it! I have never been a fan of quilts made with one block design repeated all over.

I much prefer to break the monotony of stitching up a great pile of identical blocks, and I like seeing the interest just a few different blocks added to the quilt top make.

I love the second design!

Interesting.

I like the second one!

Love this one, in particular the framework created by the quilting.
