I like the idea of appliqué in the white blocks. Lose the circles -they would be best for another project. The colors you chose for the log cabin blocks is fabulous, though!

I like Arlene's suggestion along with using verigated thread for quilting.

Maybe you would like it better if you couched some yarn on top or used colored thread when quilted. I personally like it without the circles.

I would add colored strips in the borders. Maybe red/orange and purple.
|
I think a narrow white with a color border would be better, it would not take away from the log cabins!
|
Very pretty, just try to make it to your liking and you will be much happier with it.
|
If you really like the circles, place them unevenly in 2's or 3's in the white blocks, then make the white border smaller and add a border in a color you like.
|
I think the white squares are to much so would add some color there. Maybe using Mrs. Fitz's idea of using the circles in the white squares. I to would add a colored border and make the white inner border smaller. Would like to see the quilt when you are decide what to do and finish it.
|
I don't care for the circles either but the colored border looks really nice with it. Pretty quilt.
|
Great colour work
|
I like the idea of a smaller border,and maybe one colored border with it - but how about one of those circles in the middle of each while block - gives you something to echo quilt around.

Circles are fun. Move them around to make asymmetrical arrangement . Overlap some on the cabin blocks. Make small groups or lines of circles. Cut a few in half! Make some smaller sizes. I don't have the ability to make a picture but I encourage you to experiment.

No Circles... Like the border idea.
|
Yes it makes sense as with white, it shows all of the stitches; as well as seams, etc. I personally do not care for white in any quilt as the eye is drawn to the seams and fold over pressing. Just my opinion. However, the colored blocks are outstanding! Tks. G

[QUOTE=sawsan;5345179]Hi
I will send some pics of my last project i made as a giftQUOTE] We thought you were asking for ideas. I like your circles. I like that you added many more making them closer together as a border. Very vibrant and alive colors. |
I also liked it without, to soften all the white I would maybe applique a yellow square like your centers on the white squares!

I like Arleners' suggestion the best. It keeps the crisp lines of the log cabin.

That does make sense! You are correct that there is too much white. I would make the border smaller. Then I would add 2 other borders. Here is a picture from my Quilt Pro program.
Also I agree that you should use colored thread when quilting the white blocks |
Oops.... see you not only added the circles you liked but you've quilted it as well.
|
I think the circles take away from the beauty of the quilt, but I know that's just my opinion. That and $1 will get you a sweet tea at Mickey D's!! :)
|
I'm for no circles~how about a yellow border:cool:
|
Could you applique a simple flower in the white spaces? Maybe using the chimney fabric from your log cabins ? Or maybe just a small square of the yellow print, set on point?
Way too much white for me. Btu the colors in the log cabins are wonderful |
I think it is really pretty! Nice job! :)
|
I like it with the circles.
