2 Quilts with large patterns
 
2 Attachment(s)
These two quilts are both made from patterns that are really great for large prints or fabrics you just don't want to cut into small pieces. These are both sandwiched and ready for FMQing. Hope to have them finished tomorrow. I forgot to mention that the Rose Trellis quilt pattern was found when I searched for 'garden trellis quilts'. The koi pattern was found on The Quilt Haus website.

What superb quilts! Did you overlay the boxes and strips on the beautiful prints?

Just beautiful and such a nice idea.

Cleodaisy, The Koi quilt was cut into strips and sewn together, pieced at top and bottom to make them the right length. The Rose Trellis quilt was a rectangle approx 27" x 34". I made the bias and just sewed it onto the rectangle. Very easy, you could make this any size you wanted.

Very nice work! Both of the quilts are really beautiful. Great ideas for many of our favorite fabrics.

Since I love flowers the first one is my favorite. Did you applique the flowers at the corners or is that part of the original fabric pattern?

JoyjoyMarie 09-20-2012 05:25 PM

They are both really nice. Simple and yet elegant!

hcarpanini 09-20-2012 05:26 PM

I love the second one. Along the lines of the modern quilts.

lfstamper 09-20-2012 05:29 PM

dawayesmeeth 09-20-2012 09:49 PM

Both are looking great and nice, but i like the first one more and more. Because i like the flower type designs quilts. That is looking fabulous and fantastic.

You are so clever! I have a couple of lovely fabrics that I have not cut into, so I can see a quilt in my future! Good job.

Very pretty....I love rose quilts. They are just my thing, I guess. The koi quilt is also very nice.

Sierra 09-22-2012 09:13 AM

Great idea... those overlays. I've found myself in that situation, now I know what to do!

nygal 09-22-2012 09:14 AM

Your quilts are very pretty. Good idea for those large prints. I have some of those and don't want t cut them up into small pieces.

Two great ideas for fabric that you cannot cut.......must remember those. Well done

T. 09-22-2012 01:26 PM

Can you clarify this part: I made the bias and just sewed it onto the rectangle. So is the trellis appliqued? sorry I am a little fuzzy :(

Great job! I have been looking for a pattern for a Kaffe Fassett shells fabric that I am in love with, and the koi may be the idea that I play with and desgn my own. I'll check out the Quilt Haus first, of course! Thanks for sharing!
