All the quilts w 3 colors or 3 fabrics are beautiful. It is amazing how different they all look yet they are the same pattern

I just posted a picture and am going to see if I can do it in a Reply, as well as a Start new topic. Okay, I have to try two pictures, just to see if I can do that too.

I've made a D9P using only three fabrics. I don't think it's on the QB because it's been a long time. It really came out nice. I used a focus fabric (cardinals) in the four corners with a burgandy center block and four green leaf corners for the remaining four positions. All I did was flip flop two opposing corners giving the look of little burgandy butterflies spaced around. I'll check (when I learn) to see if my cardinal D9P is in the pictures section.

I can see the pictures from the "reply" but not on the original posting. Does anyone know why?

Yes, and the perfect place to make your pattern is at the Quilt Pattern Playground http://www.freequiltpatterns.info/cu...playground.php. You can alter the block and border measurements so that the finished size is equal the size of the batting, if that's an issue. Here's my latest, a wine country theme I made as a hostess gift for our dear friends who live on Costa del Sol in Spain. We visited them this past summer and I wanted to leave something special behind to thank them for their hospitality. It has only 3 fabrics and one block, repeated 9 times with a border. This was also my first attempt at free motion quilting. It was much more difficult to achieve the roundness of the "feathers" than I thought, but turned out so nice, I'm working on another for myself! BTW, they LOVED it!!
