Beaded Blocks and Borders Batik 33, 34

Posted on June 3, 2021 by Virtual Quilter

Simply repeat blocks … not often I share a design with just one block, but I love the simplicity of this design. The second design for today is more like my usual offerings, but I prefer the first one.

Brandis Street Blocks 5, 6

Posted on May 18, 2021 by Virtual Quilter

I like it. These designs use similar colours to the 1970s floor covering the block designs are based on, just after the 60s orange started to become unfashionable. I love the second one, but am not happy with the way … Continue reading →

Posted on May 7, 2021 by Virtual Quilter

This series started with some ideas about changing Double Wedding Ring blocks, and moved on until there were no Wedding Rings in sight. I like the first … … and love the second. Just a bit of playing with blocks … Continue reading →

Posted on April 26, 2021 by Virtual Quilter

In my part of the world our autumn weather is variable this year, from cool summer to cold winter … but it is very dry, which means it is very dusty, so the colours in this project file are appropriate. … Continue reading →

I love the first design today. I like the second one too. I also like the last one, which might make a nice wallhanging.

Textile Inspirations 21, 22

Very pretty! Would make an ordinary room rather romantic. Ditto my comments about the first one. I think I like the border on the first one, and the centre of the second one best.

A Whiter Shade on Gold Quilted 17, 18

Posted on April 12, 2021 by Virtual Quilter

The hardest part of making a quilt with applique designs ‘whited out’ would be choosing the background colour, then finding a collection of fabrics for the very low contrast in the appliques. My favourite of these two is the second!

Kelly’s Custom Quilts 17

Posted on April 10, 2021 by Virtual Quilter

The designs today are each based on two different pieced block designs made up of squares and rectangles. I like the second one best … though after another coffee I may change my mind.

Quilted Border Beauties 19, 20

Posted on April 9, 2021 by Virtual Quilter

I like it, though I will point out that the gold bits, except the sleeping cat, are meant to look like quilting motifs. Interesting. The gold quilting still looks more like applique, but there is some purple which looks like … Continue reading →

Brandis Street Blocks 1, 2, 3, 4

Posted on April 2, 2021 by Virtual Quilter

When we shifted into one of ten houses we have lived in I found a piece of very old lino lining the bottom of a drawer. It was at the point of falling to bits, so I put it in … Continue reading →
