Not sure if it would take to long to do, but I am planning on making a Dear Jane quilt in the future, but before I bought the software and everything, I wanted to start collecting fabrics slowly. But before I do that I want to see if the idea I had in my head would look any good on the quilt!!
So I was hoping someone that has the software may be able to try a color palette for me and post it up so I can see how it would look. If this is a time consuming task, no worries. I 'll probably buy the software in a few months, I just wanted to 'see' my idea sooner if possible. I am thinking about using a dark blue on blue (like navy blue) pattern for the background of the blocks and the sashing and then use a Halloween orange in dark and light shades as a trip around the world pattern for the block pieces themselves. Just let me know if it's too much to ask!! :) :) TIA, Rachel |
I have it but I've never figured out how to do what you're asking. It's been a year or so since I've even opened it. Sorry. Also, orange and blue is our university's colors. After warehousing the Ath. Assoc.'s merchandise for several years that's a color combo I stay clear of-just can't stand it. Sorry.

Thanks anyway!! Blue and Orange are my fave colors LOL, but I don't look at them everyday for work!! I guess if I did my feelings for them probably would change too. :) :)
hanks! Rachel |
sorry don't have it, but I am sure someone on the board has it and can help you out

Rachel..I have it and I'll try to do that for you in the next couple of days ok? Can you let me know "how" you want to do the trip around the world...just start in the center with light? or dark? how wide did you want the strips of color to be?? How many different oranges??...did you want the sashing AND the cornerstones to be navy and what about the tri's? Ummm...it seems that I have quite a few questions.

Thanks!!!! Rachel |
I've made it before???? When???? Where is it???? :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Actually Rachel, I am making it with the group on here right now. Its my 1st stab at it...its very addicting. I'll print out what you said and I promise I will try to do something for you in the next few days. I won't promise that I won't have anymore questions though. I'll play with it though. :D |

OK...here is a stab at it. I think you can get the idea of what it will look like from this Rachel.
Blue Orange White RTW Jane [ATTACH=CONFIG]77988[/ATTACH] |
That looks great!!!! Hmmmmm maybe I'll use solid blue for all the pieced blocks and like a blue/white for the solid tri's ..... do you think that would look good? The mottled blue seem to interfere with the orange blocks definition ..... This actually has me excited to do it this way, it would be fun to hunt down a bunch of oranges ..... I do like how you have some rows of white to balance the orange too .... Once I get my software is it possible for you to send me the file for that design so I can just upload it to mine??
Thanks so much!!! Rachel |
Yes, the software says that I can do that...I haven't ever done it...but I'm supposed to be able to :oops: :lol:
I would think the "mottled" look would depend on the actual fabrics that you select. I just picked something from the blue library that was fairly dark and had a solid blue to match it. I was thinking that there are lots of ways you could do it...you could mix in lots of oranges with different levels of white in it to make it flow better. You could also mix in an orange with the blue in it on the outside to make it really "flow" into the tri section. That would look cool too! I did the solid blue in the tri's because it really looked mottley in the tris. Its a good idea though...a fun one. Did you pre order EQ7? I got my shipping notice yesterday, so if you did it won't take it long to come in. |

I got my shipping notice yesterday, so if you did it won't take it long to come in. Unfortunately I have not been able to justify the cost of the full EQ system to hubby. Maybe now that 7 is out, I can talk him into 6 since it will be a bit cheaper now. I am only getting the DJ because I have a free $25 GC to Amazon LOL *sigh* paying off bills, feels good, but it really takes a toll on my short term quilting goals :mrgreen: Rachel |
Oh...I see. I will be still using the reg numbers of my 6 so I can use the 7 upgrade. I started with 5 that I bought on ebay for $35.00, so I do know where you're coming from :wink:
