Oh my gosh....that is such a great idea!! That would be PERFECT!! I can see it now...how cute. It would be cool if it had it all you know....applique, regular piece, paper piece and embroidery!
I was playing with ideas for the rows this weekend and here are my ideas at this point...and I should mention that they change alot...LOL :D I can't really know for sure until I get rows but at this point I'm thinking. Let me know what you think:
For FQ Stash Queen's I'm going to try to make a row of paper towels for the middle that will take up the size of 2 blocks, then if I can find a pattern for a spoon and fork, I was going to try to make those the size of 1/2 block each one both sides of paper towels and then the last 2 blocks would be coffee mugs on each end. I have the directions for everything except the fork and spoon so if ya'll see one let me know. I put a picture of the paper towels below.
Next I will get Nancy's stars. I am so hard on myself so of course I'm worried about the points matching but since I really like paper piecing, I think I'll do paper pieced stars. I'll play with colors when I see the row. Nancy....are you wanting mostly Batiks or any brights?? Like do you like solids, florals, prints?? And I know you said any black so I will look for pretty black on black fabrics. Of course, if you have favorite star block patterns, let us know :D
Then I get Pamesue's....hmmm....you know....all I know is your colors. Do you have any favorite blocks? I really like paper piece and I can do raw edge applique like with the blanket stitch. I can do dresden plates, the little hex flowers, or just regular blocks. My LQS just got some really pretty pink/brown fabrics that are just beauiful. I think they are floral so of course I like them cause I'm a big "girly girl" but not everyone likes the whole flowery look. I'll post a picture of them before I buy though just to make sure you like them.
Then I'll be the last person to put a row on TF Quilter's so that will make it alot easier with fabric choices 'cause I'll just need to pull everyone elses fabrics together. So like I said....I'm thinking either dresses or Silhouettes.
This is going to be SO MUCH FUN!! I think we are all going to end up with beautiful quilts! :D
OK.....can't get the picture but here is the link that shows the picture of the paper towel roll:
