The DP quilt I'm making now has chenille strips around the circles - I can't wait to see how it turns out. And, again, is very, very easy. |

Cathederal Window is time consuming but if you like to play with the fabric colors it is fun. Love it.

I agree, Carpenters Wheel, Day and Night, cathedral windows,french braid, and I'll add Trip around the world (elenore burns)
|
The Disappearing Nine-Patch is a wonderful pattern both for planned fabrics and for scrappy ones. But I'll warn you... it's addicting.

"wickedly easy" from www.byannie.com. Its under the free
patterns section. It takes 6 fqs for the baby quilt. I've posted pictures of 2 of the ones I've made. Sharon W. in Texas first one I made, testing it out. [ATTACH=CONFIG]209072[/ATTACH] made from lightweight corduroys. [ATTACH=CONFIG]209073[/ATTACH] |
another pattern that is easy and fun it is the disappearing nine patch with a double twist-takes a 9patch blk. & subcut twice-funished it looks like one put a lot of pieces together to make it

by far it would be this one..I was her pattern tester and nearly died when she sent me pattern...but I am amazed at it is really just a trick of the eye that makes it look so hard!

Yellow Brick Road and it is fun to make!
|
I've not heard of the "disappearing nine patch". Would you share the website for the tutorial?
|
I have been hearing about the "Take Five"pattern. Say it is easy but looks not. Where can I see and /or get it?
|
Never heard opf a potato chip quilt. Thanks for posting the site.
|
Warm Wishes is an easy pattern but looks complicated. One of my favorites.

Carpenter's Wheel is really easy. I made one using 9 inch blocks. Fits top of queen size bed. Just need to find the yellow to make it longer.
|
How do you get an answer to questions you put on here? Is there another link to click on?
|
What's the potato chip quilt? Never seen that one.

http://www.maryquilts.com/new-churn-dash-stars/ There is a picture of my Quilt of Valor on the bottom of that page! |
Arkansas Crossroads......Very easy, looks very complicated.
As far as picking out colors, I used a jelly roll and added black. I need to quilt mine now. Good luck with whatever you pick to do. |
I love that one!

The twister pattern is fun and comes in 3 sizes. I found it to be very easy and fun!

|
I've used Warm Wishes a lot. With a good color combination, it is beautiful and can look quite complicated. Google it......
|
just looked up the churn dash and stars on maryquilts.com, that is neat, i think i might try that one.
i tried an 18 block sample of the cathredal window, wow, it takes lots of fabric for the background. it goes fast if you do it by machine and not by hand. i was doing a class so we had to try it both ways. |
Love the carpenter's wheel pattern VaNella, TFS, can't wait to start one.

Anything Eleanor Burns is always going to go together easy. D9P and log cabins are always fun because you can turn the blocks around to get a lot of different looks from the same set of blocks. The carpenters wheels was super easy. And I am currently obsessed with OBW and stack&whack quilts - the fabric does most of the work!!My 6 year old is making a 4 patch posy, she sewed all 30 of her kalidascope squares in a day.
|
The more I got into quilting, the more I learned that when you look at a quilt or pattern & break it down into the blocks, the more they make sense & the easier they are.
|
I think the 10-minute quilt block is impressive but only has three seams. Also the Diasappearing 9 Patch is always complex looking.
|
The Carpenters Star is very simple, just squares and triangles. Also, for the basic shape is only 8x8 square (64 blocks). You can decide on the size of each block, 3 inch blocks will be 24 in X 24 in square, up to as large as you want. Its very simple, I did the cutting in a 1 to 2 hrs, and the sewing was actually 3 to 4 hours. A real weekend quilt!
I have a couple of websites on my post that gives instructions, and another one to help with the lay-out. It made it very simple. |
