What's on your design wall?
 

I find so much inspiration and so many ideas from this board and from seeing others' work so I thought I'd share what I have on my design wall and encourage others to do the same.

Here's what I'm working on at the moment. I drafted the block after seeing the quilts online. It's 'Vanilla & Blooms'. Really cool idea - - -

I have nothing on my design wall at the moment. I don't have it up, it's folded away. But working on yo yo and repairing a baby quilt. How rude of me. I really like your quilt. Photos when finished please!

I made the 2013 Craftsy BOM and Amy Gibson's BOM and part of it is still hanging on my design wall.

Oooh, I like that a lot, Jane! Great colors and nice modern pattern.

Nothing on my design wall at the moment, but after spending a very full day last week at The World Quilt Show - New England, the inspiration sector of my brain is in overdrive!

I need a design wall! But I am currently (yes currently) working on cutting out a large lap with sunflowers for a wedding gift, I have 1 baby gift that I quilted last week that needs hand sewing of binding, 2 more large laps also quilted last week for wedding gifts, and another large lap size that is for a fund raiser auction that all just need the hand sewing of the binding and then labels.

I have a black and white Christmas quilt up there, with a gray/multicolored baby quilt waiting to go up.

Great idea Jane
Currently my design wall is almost as chaotic as my sewing room.
The top is I baby quilt I'm helping my daughter with for her boyfriend's niece. The bottom is blocks for my holiday block swap. I swear I didn't cut the stars up its bad photography on my part. . and the far right is a quilt for my niece that I have put aside to work on other projects that I really need to get back too.

I do not actually have a design wall, unless I count the one in my head. :-) However, I am currently working on a fall wall hanging. Just finished the top this very afternoon. Can't wait to show it to you.

The panel I'm using as the focus fabric for my La Passacaglia quilt. I'm just waiting for the paper pieces to come to get started. Can't wait!

I have a completed quit top waiting to be sandwiched which I will do after I get a few small projects done for my granddaughter's birthday next week. It seemed like a good place to store it and I get the added benefit of looking at it. I really like it and it is for a Christmas gift so this is the only time I will really see it much. Couldn't quilt without my design wall...well, I could but it wouldn't be nearly as easy or as fun.

Sorry the pic is turn, i hope you can see mi applecore in progress. The fabric is from recycled shirts!
Happy quilting.

I am making these bags for a missionary friend and I have strips for two designs that are not working out like I thought. Back to the drawing board (or should I say EQ).

I have mostly cat hair, and strings on my design wall -- didn't clean it after I took the last quilt down.

I have the center of a Carpenter's Star on mine. And up until Sunday, there was a baby quilt pinned over the top of that!

I wish I could post pics because I know you would love to see the appliqué blocks I have on my design wall. Also the cute little 3-D pinwheels for an adorable Christmas banner. You can find them on frozenknickers.blogspot.com. I'm going to make more as ornaments too. They are fun & work up quick and easy.

You had to ask!

I am trying to decide which way I like this border. Half a spiderweb or whole web?

You had to ask!!! There are about 4 others on the design wall too.

I am making a BOM quilt, Hampton Ridge, through my LQS. It is finished except for the borders which I will add in September. I have what I have completed, so far, on my design wall. I just love looking at it! I'll give it away when I finish it so I am enjoying it as long as I can.

Dsb13kjd - When I saw your KF, I immediately thought "a bright shabby chic". I never considered KF in this category, but you really pulled it off perfectly. I love the look.

I've got 2 on my design wall right now. A HST quilt for our neighbors who are selling their house and a Stack-N-Whack awaiting borders. I also have a quilt on my sewing table that I am quilting that needs to get done this week!

I am in the middle of quilting a quilt using this same panel!!!

I have a kilidescope quilt. So far not happy with it. It is a UFO I recently pulled out to revisit. Wanna sort it and complete it. I am trying very hard to stay motivated!

What a variety of styles and fabrics!

I've got mini WIP's--some ready to finish, others been hanging there for a while

Fabulous!!

I like the spiderweb in the pic. Also like the border going zig zag. Great project! Thanks for sharing.


Jane

WWWWwoooOOO! Very cool! Love the design.


Jane

Very pretty HST quilt. The traditional designs never go out of style, do they? Pretty colors. I did one stack & whack in my quilting career and doubt I'll ever do another one. Yours is very pretty.

Jane

Post a picture and maybe someone could offer some input. We'd love to see it.

Jane

Your work is always so wonderful! I have a bag almost ready to mail out to you. Will all the Boom blocks I'm working on, I keep saying, '. . . just a few more pieces, then I'll mail it. Just a few more pieces. . . . ' LOL


Jane

Thanks, J! I've been making 9P from 1" pieces as a diversion or as leaders and enders. Have over 600 made...What shall I do with them? Have several ideas...

I need a design wall. Now I am working on a scrappy log cabin. Using up a lot of scraps I've collected!

Oooh, your applecore will be lovely! I'm just starting out on an applecore, haven't got my layout sorted yet, otherwise I'd post a picture!
Lovely looking projects from everyone :-)

Hello, Love your design wall.. but, have a completely unrelated question, hope you will help... I'm new and tried to post a question to Main .. I can't find it... I received an email saying I had received a private message and there it was ???
My title was Blockbase - Block #3676 help please. Thanks in advance for your help ad apologies for jumping into your wonderful design wall.

Great looking quilts. I like them all.
peace

Just finished a Bricks & Stones lap quilt from leftover blocks. Couldn't see wasting them. And here's a little peek at the original one using fruits and veggie fabrics with CT Mirage fabrics. Still needs the borders which I just got from CT the other day. And then here's a plan for the quilt I'm working on right now. Got all the pieces cut ready to go. Using scraps from the last quilt I just finished..Smith Mountain waiting to be quilted. You can see a few of the leftover blocks next to the veggie quilt. I'll use those to make up some throw pillows for the couple this quilt will be given to.

What's on your design wall?
 

I'm working on a challenge quilt. It will have 42 applique blocks about summertime.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!


Jane

What fun! I truly admire quilters who do applique.

I am working on a quilt for my DD for Christmas. It is exploding blocks made with Making Melody layer cake from Keepsake quilting. I am putting a "frame" of piano keys around the lighter blocks and will put "frame" of a darker part of the fabric around the darker blocks with a thin line of red between the blocks, a narrow red border and than a wide black and white border that has treble clefs in it.

I have nothing on my wall...don't even have a wall right now. We are remodeling my sewing room and I don't even know where we put my wall. The ceiling is scraped, the tile has been taken up and yes along with fabric everywhere, there is dust everywhere. In the process of painting a soft buttery color. Next floors then baseboards and then the real work begins...getting it all organized and back in. I love the quilt you have on your wall. Will you share the pattern or a too trial?
