Olympics

Nice,, Nancy - I hadn't seen them. Great idea using men's shirts.

Happy Valentines all.
This is another fun website to check out the beautiful colored Olympic backdrops.

You can create your own fabric design on your computer and have it printed by companies like Spoonflower. It is not expensive and would give you exactly what you want

I think independent printing of these designs could lead to trouble ! :shock:

[Susan B.]

I wonder if Spoonflower would even print them, because they are so recognizable and surely copyrighted.

Those of you, who like this design, may like this "Bali Sochi" quilt --> https://hoffmanfabrics.com/content/c...p?ImageID=1255

Also, there's a "Natural Facets" diamond quilt pattern in the Oct/Nov 2010 Issue of Quilter's Newsletter that I think looks even more like the Olympic patchwork design. However, the quilt design that I've seen to come closest to it can be found in this free tutorial here---> http://magnoliabayquilts.blogspot.co...-tutorial.html

Enjoy!

Very interesting ! Thanks, Nancy! Hoffman Balis really have the colors, don't they ? but the pattern designs are
a big part of the Russian design. The diamond tutorial is really good..I've bookmarked that one...surely a scrappy
wonderment !! What fun that would be. Craftsy was great too....I hadn't seen a good photo of the snow-
boarder jackets...If folks saw what the kids wear on the slopes here they might not be so harsh on them !! :lol: :lol: :roll:

I got a newsletter from The Pine Needle who has taken advantage of packaging batiks. I'd send the catchy newsletter to anyone who wants to see, but don't know how to put a link here.

Clicking on Nancy's link and then going to "Free Patterns", the Sochi quilt says "pattern coming soon".
