I couldn’t resist playing with a new collection of blocks I added to my Electric Quilt library yesterday, so once I had them sorted, I played.
Now can’t wait to share the first couple.
I think I prefer the first one, and would add some quilted straight lines parallel to the sides as a filler, using a matching thread, with a contrast thread for the more ornate design areas.
This one has the quilting design over the applique blocks, and once again the filler would be in a matching thread, and be something indistinct, or maybe some added motifs from the design collection. That last thought means I should spend some more time designing some filler motifs!
Wonder how many weekends I can fit into a week?
I think I’m gonna love this new series!

Laura,
I think I am too!
The biggest surprise is the colours … I used some from the default fabrics, but went virtual shopping for the background one. Took about five minutes. Probably coud improve the choice, but wouldn’t want to change it much!

Glynis,
There are lots of possibilities with the individual block designs, and I am very pleasantly surprised at the first few quilt designs I have done. It is like getting a new toy!

LOL If you figure out a way to get more weekends in a week let us know because then we would have more time for quilting as well as enjoying your designs. I like the first and the last one.
