I am making a quilt which appears to be a 100" square tray holding 23 deviled eggs....there were 25 eggs, but two were grabbed off the tray while you were carrying it from the kitchen. The first picture is of a few of the eggs on the background fabric...just testing the look. The background fabric is a hostas print. Also I attached a drawing from Electric Quilt 6 of the quilt as it will look when done. Currently the quilt status is--the 23 yolks are all hand appliqued onto the egg whites. Now the egg whites need to be appliqued onto the 73" square of hosta background fabric. I matched up two 73" lengths so you can't see the "joining" rather than have cut out 25 - 15" squares. I really wanted it to look like a tray...not a quilt.

Welcome to the board. Love the eggs. I'm the one that stole them!

So it was you!

How cool is that!

How imaginative.

cute idea... love the eggs

Hello and welcome from Ontario. Your quilt idea is soooo cute. Be sure to show us your progress.

It shows your sense of fun!

Too cute! and i just love the hosta print! what a creative idea!

Really neat!

Very good idea, I love eggs just about any way. I could eat several each and everyday.

Cool! Be sure to sprinkle em with parsley and paprika. :)

Cute :)

So cute!!

cute

What a cute idea!! I'd like to copy your idea and make a small wall hanging for my daughter's family. My SIL loves Devided Eggs. My grandson started helping me peel the eggs when he was about 2. He did a great job, but wanted to eat the egg once he got it peeled! Would you mind if I made a small wall hanging of your idea?
Welcome from Central IN. You'll like it hereon the board!!

Great idea! That will turn out to be really cute!

Cute :thumbup:

What a cute idea! The cook must have ate one before setting the tray with them because 25 is an odd number. :) (always an even number of deviled eggs since you get two from each egg).

You must do a better job of peeling eggs than I do! I always have some mess up, and have one half of an egg that isn't fit for filling, so it at least has to be eatten.... and then you have to try one to make sure it's good, and then...............

Wow, I love off the wall patterns. And I absolutely
LOVE German Deviled Eggs!! Make them all the time.
This would make a neat wall hanging, right above the
table. I used to do this as a silent mental nudge for my
kids when I wanted to add a new veggie in the future to
their diets. It worked!!
Some of the time.

-------------------------------
Grandma taught me how to peel eggs, many years ago.
You crack them gently all over, pull off a tiny bit of shell
AND skin, slide a small table spoon under the skin and
roll it around the egg. The whole shell will come off easily.
I used to do this with dozens of eggs for picnics, worked
nicely.

Cute! I love it!

Cool! Be sure to sprinkle em with parsley and paprika. -
------------------------------
And mayo, sweet relish, finely chopped onions, salt and pepper,
a touch of vinegar, yellow mustard.
Yummy!! Then comes the parsley and paprika.

Funny! And I love it! Thanks for sharing!

If you had one empty white part, that would have been me...I only like the yolk!

What an unusual quilt. I love the pattern. I love deviled eggs too. Great combo. Thanks for sharing.

they need some paprika!

Yep, the plan is to stencil (or some other method) it on when the quilt has been quilted and bound.

Ingenious idea. Fun project.

Have you ever tried beading? It would be a cool way to add the spices.

I love the quilt, and would try something like this myself.

How cool is that. I love it
