What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

These are Round Robin designs with a difference in that the background fabric is the same throughout the design. Sometimes I have used a narrow strip border, and a lot of the borders are just applique or pieced blocks with some of the background between.

I like the blank spaces in the second design … I would keep some of the quilting very simple … straight lines, but there would still be some elaborate quilted border design included in the design.

I need to find time to play with Round Robin settings with added quilting layer!

Interesting!

This project file has been ignored for a couple of years, but I decided that today it could come out of it’s hiding place.

Love the second one.

I challenged myself to go through all my Electric Quilt project files and use the designs which have been waiting for years for their day in the limelight. Many of the files I am targeting have not been opened for two years … and often more! When I do open them I often add more quilt designs for future reference, or sometimes change the fabrics and save them in a new project file.

I like the second design, and suspect that there are many more in this project that I like as much, or more than this one.

Mostly brown with a touch of green of plants that are looking forward to some winter rain … that is autumn here in Australia.

My favourite today is the second design as I like the change of blocks around the centre blocks..

I love the strip borders with tangled corners, but would like to be able to redraft the applique borders to be more symmetrical, perhaps by removing the inner applique border around the centre block, or making it wider.

I love the second design … the applique is minimal, but well balanced, and there is a lot or room for some fairly simple quilting to shine. I would avoid too many busy feathers, but would use the fan shape used in the applique with a fair bit of background filling.
