My latest quilt - Paisley Party
 
1 Attachment(s)
Here's my latest quilt. It's a wall hanging done as part of a challenge for a design contest. We had to use the paisley fabric in at least 20% of the quilt. After seeing so many lovely Star Spin quilts here, I combined that with the Card Trick block to come up with a six pointed star. One of the things we were supposed to do is convey movement, and I hope I did that well.

Here it is:

Very pretty!

Very nice...have you actually cut out those paisley pieces and appliqued them on?

LyndaOH 08-08-2012 02:53 PM

Thanks! I did fussy cut them and applique them down. I used fusible and the quilting to hold them in place.

I am not a fan of paisley but that is very pretty. You did a good job on the challenge.

terri bb 08-09-2012 05:24 AM

you conveyed that beautifully! i just love the look of this, it is beautiful and the blue just sets it all off and makes it pop. you did a wonderful job and if you ever get tired of it you can convey the movement to north idaho and it will be on my wall forever. i think its fantastic!!!
