EQ Album Revisited + 23, 24

Just two changes from the first version to the second. The block change is insignificant, the colour change in thirteen blocks makes a huge difference. This is an indication that colour and contrast choice is more important than block choice … Continue reading →

Log Cabin Leaf Central 56, 57, 58, 59, 60

Posted on July 15, 2020

I like it, though would find the applique repetitive. The second one is more so, but I still like it. That is better … more variety! Variety of applique again, and an interesting setting. Love the setting in the last. … Continue reading →

Piecing Playtime 4, 5, 6

Posted on July 14, 2020

I like lots of things about today’s designs … but not the colour. I like the large print used in some of the blocks and the border, and the contrast is OK. I especially like the dark, light, large print, … Continue reading →

Interesting! Love the second. Love the third, but I would look for a black fabric with more subdued print … or none at all.

I much prefer applique to pieced quilts, but I love the design above. Love the second design too! Maybe my eyes are telling me that the curved seams are applique!

Very interesting! Another interesting design. I would usually say that the second, with the applique, was my favourite of the two, but both these designs are something a bit different to the average quilt designs I cannot pick a favourite.

Lovin’ Spoonful 45, 46

Posted on July 9, 2020

Another project file that was about to be retired because it was about to be empty of new designs to share … or an excuse to update the colours and carry on. Well, I haven’t changed the colours yet, but … Continue reading →

Less Logs in the Cabin 81, 82, 83, 84, 85

Posted on July 8, 2020

Now that is interesting. Note that the less logs in the title of this series refers to the fact that there are only three rounds of strips around the centre instead of the four I usually use. In any Log … Continue reading →

EQ Dozen + Quilting 13, 14

Posted on July 7, 2020
