This is another fabulouse Izy creation. I just have to know, how you go about deciding, where to put your blocks? Do you get fabrics, and then just make blocks, that you like, and then put them on design wall, and rearrange until you are pleased?
Please tell me the secret to your creative genius. Inquiring minds want to know, Izy. pweeeeeeze??? :D
In this occasion I did buy the fabrics first...then hummmed and hahhhed for ages on the design, Then I just started making up the blocks THEN wondered how the heck I was going to put them together and how many..so doodled on a pad starting with the finished size and then just filled in the squares some up some down, little circles here and there and tah dah!! It evolved lol!! Not much more than that really. I had to clear our the spare room to give me enough floor space to lay out the blocks and play around with the layout for a few hours, then I took pictures to remind me when I picked up each mini section to remind me what went where.....does this make any sense???? :lol: :lol: :lol: :D
Thanks everyone again for your great comments. I have quilted it now, and had to resort to in the ditch then cross hatch at 4" . I have done a scrappy binding with no borders as there is enough going on. I Had big hopes of doing some fancy quilting...BUT after fighting with it for 2 hours, soon realised that this quilt is just tooo big to squeeze through my little Janome 9000!!
:D :D
