i'm in a small quilting group here at home. and on July 1 st, i have to have a row ready to pass on. were doin 6.5 square blks by 6 wide. for the life of me i can't think of a thing i want to have. i thought of old blks of any kind but thats now taken,.. there only 6 of us so i do need to have a different plan thanks ahead for your ideas molly

Do you have an embroidery machine? could you embroider either by hand or machine a flower and then frame it in a simple block design?
|
How about a paper pieced block. Check Quilter's Cache. They have 6" blocks (I am assuming you meant 6.5 unfinished, 6" finished?)
|
thanks ladies, good ideas ..and yes i meant 6in. finished.. both these ideas sound good...molly
|
What is everyone else doing? I assume that a similar idea is frowned on?
|
Choose a season...and make an appliquéd design....like Hallowe'en, Easter, Xmas, New Years....whatever fits your lifestyle.
|
have fun and let us know what you decide to make
|
good luck
|
I would also go to the Quilters Cache to find a block that you like! That site has so many to choose from!

we are doing a row of the month in one of the threads and June was very easy to do as were some of the others. Here is the link if you would like to check out each month to see if any appeal to you. Fair warning, January was fairly complicated as it has many small parts. You can see each month at this website: http://www.claudiasquiltshoppe.com/freebom.htm

What about pinwheels ?
or I don't know how to explain this well, but take your squares make them Half square triangles and sew them together in a row... does that make sense ? |
