Several years ago, I bought fat quarters from a moda collection to make a turning twenty. When I laid it out, although the fabrics were co-ordinating, it looked terrible to me. The fabric is still sitting there cut, but unsewn. I am sick of moving the fabric from place to place. Any ideas on what I could do with this fabric, any patterns that might suit using cut up pieces? I want to do something with it, but I am stumped.
Please help me? p.s the fabric is florals and tonals in typical moda fashion. |
can you post a pic of the fabs and the original pattern you wanted them for? Maybe someone on the board would LOVE to make it-and you could off-load them to someone knowing they will get used. I bet if you laid out the pieces as though sewn into the blocks, it wouldn't look so bad!
|
I vote for a pic too. I'm a visual person so I would need to see the fabrics. You could always make it and donate it if you really don't like it once it's finished....
|
What about putting the patches together in blocks that look good to you then separating them with a plain sashing.
|
could you replace a few of the pieces, maybe be more pleasing to you then
|
You could send them all to me!! :):)

Boy, I was in the same boat as you are now! I had cut everything out to make a turning twenty, and absolutely hated it.
Here's the link to how I redesigned mine - I was SO much happier with the results! http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-57448-1.htm |

If you failed turning twenty then you are still only 19.
Could not help myself. |

The design is called "Newport Beach", found in a Judy Martin book named 'Scraps'. It's the quilt on the cover, in the top right corner. Instead of going with a true shadow design, I used what I had - the solid red. Here's the link in case anyone is interested. http://www.amazon.com/Scraps-Judy-Ma...0776935&sr=8-1 I was able to use the squares I had already cut out (and ripped out a couple of times). I also used the solid red for the shadow part, so I only needed to add the white. I felt really lucky to have found a pattern that could use the original scraps from my awful TurningTwenty! |
Sometimes the Moda's are a little too busy for me. I'd suggest sneaking in some coordinating solids to calm down the prints a bit.
