What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

If I had started quilting about 10 years before I did I would have made one of these designs to loan to newly wed children, nieces and nephews, for a month or so after their big day, adding the names and dates of each wedding … but by the time I started quilting some had already tied the knot, and now the next generation are making plans, and I am behind in making quilts for them to keep.

Maybe one of the next generation will become a quilter, and they can backdate the names to their great grandparents!

Notice the way the Wedding Ring blocks have rounded out the fan blocks … very interesting.

In the second design I love the tips of the fan blocks showing around the edge, caused by all the blocks being on point.

Lovely!

Nice.

I like the way the part wedding rings for an inner border.

I like it!

Nice one, but a bit late to start it if you are going to a wedding this weekend.

I like the second one of today’s pair.

Love the first design today. No full Wedding Ring blocks, but enough bits for most quilters to recognize the parts.

Looking at both of these I think they would be great designs to use on a tablecloth for the table holding the wedding cake.

Something else to celebrate …. Electric Quilt is now 30 years old.

I had been quilting for quite a while before EQ was born, and it was quite a few years before I bought EQ5. I had quite a collection of block designs on paper, quite a few of them drafted and ready to use, and I ...

Very restful and pretty.

Love the second design.

I don’t know how it happened, but I haven’t opened this project file for well over a year.

Like good wine it has been maturing in the dark!

I like them both, and unlike a good wine, the project file will still around next year to share.
