Spectacular! It's beautiful. I'd love to make one if I had a pattern.
|
I really love it but like a few other posters, the center just doesn't seem to flow to me. It seems to compete with the design around it. Maybe some floral applique that encorporates the applique used on the four corners of the center?
I'm sure whatever you decide though it will be lovely. Your quilts always are! As a side note, I am learning to love my EQ7. I didn't like it at first, but now that I learned how to create my own blocks, I like it a lot more. You've inspired me to cruise through the library a little more though! :) |
Very nice, great job!
|
Wow I wish I could use my EQ like that
|
If you would teach that it would be well worth the ticket to England! I am awestruck!
|
That is beautiful. Wish I had EQ, I have to draw on paper. Looking forward to the day I can afford that but just finished paying for machine.
|
Magnificent. Please post as you progress if you decide to make this quilt.
|
I agree. Your design is stunning. Batiks would be gorgeous in this design. I will be watching for your progress as well.
|
That is amazing! It's also a pattern I would love to have!!
|
It is fantastic.
|
A truly gorgeous design.
Good luck, Kutnso |

2. Leave the corners be! I like them! I know that plain pat thinks they look like jaws but I thought more soaring eagles. :lol: And yes Pat, I DID ask! :mrgreen: :lol: |

I am going to work on it some more and take out the lighter pinks and keep it dark, moody purples behind the grey. But I am liking the general effect this gives of blending the blocks in to the surrounding LCs. PLus, bear in mind that those grey areas will be FMQd and possibly even get some beadwork on them as well - this is only the 'background'. :-D |

Those asking for the pattern, I might come up with something after I've made it myself, we'll see. I was unaware it would create so much interest. :D |

Are you fed up with me yet? :mrgreen: :lol:
OK I put some black in the centre section and darkened up the purple parts - the aim is to integrate this section more with the overall design and get away from the blocky non flowing effect of the first version. I also quite like the 'floating' effect that the black gives, as if this is a Moorish fretwork panel? Fanciful ain't I? :lol: Anyway, thoughts? Preferences? :-D |

I'm sure whatever you decide though it will be lovely. Your quilts always are! And I TOTALLY agree with the last sentence. I'll love it whatever you decide!! |
It "fits" the bill to a tee.
|
I love everything about it... can't wait to see the progression... a inspiration in each posting.

Boy that's hard to describe. With the cool little diamonds converging into a square or diamond in the center. ROFLMAO!!! |
It is a beautiful design. Can't wait to see the progress pics. NAG, NAG :thumbup:
|
Fabulous!
|
Wow - that is absolutely stunning! Batiks? Wow! Please post your progress! Love the design and the dark colors. It's out of this world!
|
Wonderful design!
|
Oh my goodness it's absolutely beautiful!!!!
|
It is so beautiful!! Love it.
|
As I was having trouble popping back & forth to view them, I copied & pasted them all onto one page (hope that's okay) & I still like the first version the best. I think the first one has the WOW factor going for it, and this one is more a traditional looking center. JMHO

What a piece of art!!
