Sunrise in Florence Prototype Take a monochromatic quilt coloring and jazz it up. This prototype has solid reds. St. Charles, Illinois USA cptvdeo@inil.com |
Sunrise in Florence The swag motif reminds me of traditional Florentine designs. I used accents of green, which is the complementary color for red. The use of realistic fabrics gives this quilt coloring a lot of depth. St. Charles, Illinois USA cptvdeo@inil.com |

Spring Irises - After! This quilt evolved in another challenge which was to use two blocks in a number of quilt settings. When I used this colour combination and this setting, I could see "Irises" popping out among the stars. It was fun to see how fabrics made a difference in this design. Try reversing the colours and you get a whole different look. Winnipeg, MB Canada hkleiner@attcanada.ca |
Spring Irises - Before! I chose Clouds by Possibilities for the purple pieces and Atlantis by Rose & Hubble for the light green pieces. I think they give it a softer, spring-like look. When you remove the block and patch outlines you have an even better view of how these two fabric choices look in this quilt. Winnipeg, MB Canada hkleiner@attcanada.ca |

Circles of the East This was indeed a challenge - I hope I haven't "cheated" by a bit of block manipulation. click here to email Juanita |
Good Ole' Golden Rule Days! Isn't it amazing what colours will do to the same block. I was trying to achieve the transparent effect that Barb Vlack teaches in EQMagic on Page 72. I didn't get it, and wonder if it can only be used on certain shapes. It was fun trying and seeing how many looks can be achieved with one block. atkinso@csolve.net |
Schooldays Click here to visit a really interesting site. I started trying to remember a little about geometry because this is what we use in quilting. I decided to do a search on the net and was delighted to find this one. It's been fifty years since my high school graduation but it is amazing how much we do remember. It is so interesting using the geometrical diagrams that are there. I still hear my dad saying " you never know when you will use geometry." atkinso@csolve.net |

Blue Octagon Star Quilt - Before This is the before quilt, just two colors and would make a pretty quilt in just these two colors. But let's see what we can to do jazz things up a bit. I see some circular shapes hiding in the piecework. Let's try to draw them out. Custer, WI faith@coredcs.com |
Hidden Circles - After Well, I found the circles. Hope you see them too. Looks quite different, yes? I need to use my batik fabrics more, they are wonderful. Custer, WI faith@coredcs.com |
