Timeless Treasures fabric
Is anyone using the Timeless Treasures Plume collection? I think it is one of their best, but the fabric Royal Peacocks has a 13" bird and I am at a loss on how to put that on a quilt. Has someone done it?
|
I do hope someone shows us how they used it. I too purchased some yardage as it was sooo beautiful. But can not bring my self to cut it.
|
Check out the March/April issue of McCalls Quilting. On page 20 is a quilt using the Plume fabrics. I have been tempted to buy the fabric but until now did not want to have a QIB (quilt in the brain). Too many quilts there anyway.
|
Gorgeous. I would be afraid to cut it, too. I'd probably keep it forever and look at it occasionally!
|
I went on line and looked at the info on that quilt. For goodness sake! they used that wonderful peacock fabric as the backing! I am thinking of having it as an applique on the front - not on the back. and I wasn't that impressed with the front either. It was a rather ordinary block pattern, although the fabric is outstanding.With fabric like that I expect a block buster OH WOW THAT KNOCKS MY SOCKS OFF quilt, not just another quilt.
|
I was not that impresses with their use of what is a stunning fabric either.

I have OBW in my head right now. Wouldn't that make gorgeous OBW!!!

If you go to the Timeless Treasures website, they have used the big peacock as one large block and then hav eblocks around it.

Sometimes they don't make the best use of a gorgeous fabric when they're making their sample project quilts, do they?
And have you seen Royal Peacocks by Hoffman? http://www.favoritefabric.com/cgi/co...P&keywords=all This group also has a large scale peacock design, but in softer colors. I would be interested to see what people create from this one, too! |
