What do you think? These are my ugly FQs... I think they could be pretty as a sampler quilt. The smaller pieces on top of the bigger pieces would be a coordinate that I would send along too. Anyone feel inspired by these?
I solemnly swear no piggies, even I can occasionally be an adult. :)

I'm an odd quilter in that I'm much better at FMQ, and raw edge applique than piecing. I use a lot of hand embroidery beads, and buttons in my quilts. I haven't done much piecing. I did the Craftsy 2012 BOM and that turned out pretty good. Anyone (3 month boom) who wants hand embroidery or beads on their blocks let me know. The beads would not be good on a bed quilt, only on a wall hanging. I design most of my own quilts and may try to design these blocks but they're going to have to be simple while I work on my skills. It says we can use applique so I may try some of that.

mjp, Feel free to embroider on anything you make for me.
Here's my fabric auditions for BOOM 18. The LEO gold is the focus, with colors I think go well with it. Medium to dark reds, even to purple red. Orange and some yellows. I think I'll wait to decide the sashing. [ATTACH=CONFIG]563455[/ATTACH]

Here are my fabrics and inspiration. My 11 yr old GD is getting a new larger bed. Her favorite color is rainbow. So when I had seen this quilt I thought if each of you took a color and made it into a block that read that color it would be awesome. What do you think?

I told the quilter to use orange thread when quilting it and she did...First time Ive ever used any color beside black/white in quilting and trying to decide if I like it or not...have a friend that wants to buy it but how do you ever put a price on a quilt you love?? I think the blocks in this quilt are by far my favorite of all the 10 booms + that ive been in!!
WOW!!!!! absolutely stunning I love everything about it. |
TG, love the rainbow idea. Would we just add other fabrics in the same color?
|
Trav...its suppose to be queen but it doesnt hang far over the edges...IF I were to make another one with a center star I would add another border on the outside of the blocks to set them off better. Im NOT an orange person or green but I loved this fabric. I actually made 6 of the Carpenters stars out of various colors to make a quilt but didnt like them all together so used this one as a center piece. Im thinking about using one of the other stars in Boom 18 also. I need to check my stash!!

A2P, those colors are scrumptious. That print is so unusual were you thinking about a special purpose quilt?
That Dick & Jane fabric is great! Just love it and the romance mix. I also like when the fabric and ideas are posted. You quilters have such skill it really inspires me. |
I love the way you used the boom blocks in this quilt, I might be stealing this idea...

Well I was inspired by the triangle blocks in the BH mystery. I was playing w/ the layouts and one of them and had an idea I wanted to try. I needed another block for boom 17 so I made it for that set. [ATTACH=CONFIG]563529[/ATTACH]

TG I like the idea of a rainbow quilt.
Marietta you're 50s fabric looks very fun. Joane the gold/orange quilt is glorious. I love how you had enough white so the orange isn't overwhelming. I just wrestled with a similar problem and ended up choosing green. Your solution is very elegant. |
