That's a solid start — the wool accents against cotton should give it a nice texture contrast. I'm curious how the background...

Beautiful !!!

This looks great! I love what you did with the green fabric. The middle is very colorful and I love the design !

I had a thought today! I have saved a drawing that my 16 yr. old daughter made in 2nd grade and have plans to make a quilt from it for her HS graduation. It occurred to me today that it's a vase with flowers.
What do you think of using that as a large center block and using the BOM blocks all around? She has already requested that the BOM be her quilt. Mine is the batiks with the black background.
About to start making berries!

Sounds like a good idea if you can figure out the layout.Comment
-
Yes, I'd say go for it! A good combo!Comment
-
I think that would look really cool! You could make the center block long & arrange the blocks all around to make it more of a rectangle, and create some filler blocks of elements of the blocks if needed. Can't wait to see it!

Nancy it sounds like a great idea especially as your dd has requested the quilt. i think she would get a great kick seeing her picture in the quilt.

Nancy, that sounds like a great idea! Go for it!Comment

I'm also undecided on how to place the blocks...and I may make three wall quilts of 4 each, as Nan is doing. I just don't have the energy to quilt a large one, and have nowhere to hang it anyway. I will probably hand quilt in cross hatch. I can't think of a way to do it by machine, too many starts and stops!!
Can't wait for November, next Saturday. :lol:

Okay, call me an over-achiever. I am rumbling around in my head the setting for this quilt. I keep thinking about doing applique in the border. Do you think this would be too busy? What I am imagining is making a bias stem and running it curvy all around on the border. I would then use different flowers from the blocks, as well as leaves, blooming from the stem.
Maggie in E. Central Illinois, this from the gal 2 years ago wouldn't even look at an applique pattern!Comment
-
Maggie, I think that sound like a fabulous idea. MargeComment
-
Yes Maggie I agree, go for it! (P.S. I like overachievers)Comment
-
Maggie, I thought of doing the same thing, but I don't know if I have the energy for it! :lol: I even thought of doing a vine in two opposite corners with several block designs included. I just need to sit down and work on the design placement. I'm using batik fabric and I'm really tired of working with it. Some of the batiks are coarse and hard to needle. Judy in TorranceComment
-
Judy...try a very slinder needle when appliqueing batiks. I think it really helps!
I too have thought about an appliqued vine for the border! It's going to be fun to see what everybody comes up with!

A year ago I would have thought it was crazy to add more applique to a quilt when I didn't even like applique. Now I'm thinking an applique border might be a good idea! How things can change! Marge
