quilt designs with quilting motifs

Helen’s Hybrids 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

I always like space to show off the quilting, and this is one of the few project files where I have used pieced block designs as quilting motifs on an applique quilt design.

The first of today’s pair of designs shows off the quilting just the way I like it.

In the second design I love the way the quilting motifs frame the applique.

There are not many designs in this file … I think I might find some time today to add some more for future blog posts.

Lovin’ Spoonful in the Pink 21, 22 from Virtual Quilter

Pretty intricate, and pretty and intricate!

I love the corners of the inner border!

Q and A Fine Iron Lace 27, 28 from Virtual Quilter

Interesting, based on wrought iron trims, mostly on verandas. Sadly, new buildings, houses, commercial or public, don’t have such an interesting trim, and in fact even verandas are rare. Was also used for fences and around balconies.

I love the second design … it would be lovely on a bed, but I would also like it as a mat, though would like it to be extended a bit in length to fit in a lounge room.

By the way, the Q ‘n’ A in the title is Quilting and Applique in shorthand!

Bendigo Laceworks 5, 6 from Virtual Quilter

I love old buildings with wrought iron lace around the roof line and the veranda. Bendigo is one place to see a great collection. The colours I have used in this series represent the fertile soil around Bendigo, and other areas where mining was important in the early settlement period, and the farming communities which replaced the miners.

My favourite today is the second design.

Brandis Street Blocks 29, 30 from Virtual Quilter

Love the design above.

Love the second design too, but in a real quilt some of the quilting motifs would be changed to filler designs … straight lines, cross hatch or stippling, and use thread matching the background for those areas, contrast thread for the remaining motifs.
