What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Happy New Year!

This is what fireworks to welcome the new year look like when it is banned due to high temperatures and wind.

Not so bright or noisy as the real thing, which is usually a good thing on New Years Day.

I wish you all a happy, healthy and fun 2022!

The Serendipity tool in Electric Quilt is the tool I use when I want to be surprised by what I design … after I select the tool and the block EQ does the twisting and turning for me. I love the design above, but not excited about the one below.

The second design has the original block in the side borders.

PS I do love that the link colour matches the quilt designs!

X marks the spot!

Love the second design!

Note that the block used to create the designs in the centre is featured in the border of the last design. Easy to pick it in the last design, but well hidden in the other two.

Interesting!

Very interesting! I think I like it.

This project file uses the Serendipity tool in Electric Quilt. Playing with this tool can be very addictive, but a lot of fun, with some very interesting results.

The block I started with for this series of designs is the one I used in the borders.

I love the second one today.

I have found that Serendipity is fun, but there are a lot of designs which I haven’t saved during the play times I have had. However, sometimes a design just has to be saved, like the one above.

The second one was much improved by playing with the amount of contrast … and I love how it turned out!

Serendipity is a feature found in Electric quilt which twists, bends and mutilates blocks more than I do, and I have rarely played with it, but have to admit it can be fun … and I have tried to find a block which produces designs I might make into a real quilt, but despite some interesting designs, nothing appeals to me yet, but I will keep trying every now and then.
