You do not follow designs because you are a true artist. Some people use chalk, others use paints. You use fabric and this shows how very talented an artist you are..

Well thank you ALL so very much for your kind comments and enthusiasm, it is very much appreciated! I will update you all when I get a bit further down the line, it has to be finished by end of February as I am paying the lady a visit and it will be a surprise for her (Jan doesn't know I have got going with it...tee hee!!)

I have used a very fine vilene non iron interfacing as a foundation and traced the pattern on, like paper piecing, the job was made quicker by a lovely xmas pressie from my son and girlfriend: A light box woo hoo!! I just draw out about six at a time, then sew them up, not so boring AND better than using paper as you don't have to rip it all out

Oh my, your progress is wonderful. I love the applique in the center. Beautiful. Keep us posted.

Wow, how pretty! I like the way it all ties together.

Can you point us to the place where you got the center medallion pattern. I think the medallion makes the quilt stunning!

Thanks

I adapted a design that is in a magazine called 'Applique Quilts, No 22. it's really old 2005!! But if you do a search on here I know there are several links to good Baltimore designs for free!!

If you look at my design, it is really rather simple, made up of straight pieces for the stems, simple leaf shape, and circles, the 'flowers' are a kidney shape petal overlapping each other, so feel free to copy this design if you want :thumbup:

Quite clever. I am at a stand still at the moment. Want to use all my scraps up but not sure how or what to do. :oops:

malega 01-24-2011 11:08 AM

What a great job it looks so very beautiful.

hperttula123 01-24-2011 11:21 AM

I love it! Everything about it....the applique, the unevenness, the colors!! :)

Well this is a good way if you have lots of strips, or scraps you can cut into strips, on my block I have drawn 1" strips on one side and .5" strips on the other, this is what creates the illusion of curves in the lighter side, go on have a go!!

Wow - that is so pretty and unique. Sure changed the look of a log cabin quilt. Keep on working without patterns!
