For this quilt I chose 'Floating Fan' as the block since
it is a quadrant. This tends to hide the blocks in the Special
Effects - 15 layout. At first I designed the quilt using the
whole block design, then edited the block to produce two complementary
half square triangles. These were then substituted in the
quilt in place of the whole squares originally used there,
in order to produce the correct templates.
The border design flipped and rotated the quadrant design
to get the alternating light-dark effect in the points.
The four small quadrants were placed on layer 2 and sized
to fit the centre square.

I love turquoise and yellow together. The combination reminds
me of blue skies and sunny days. I loved using them in this
layout.

The layout for this quilt is "Special Effects 10".
The blocks are a combination of ones from the Jinny Beyer
web site, the AQS publication "Quilting Patterns from
Native American Designs" and a couple I took from the
fabric of one of my husband's shirts! I love the Southwestern
desert area, and the colors remind me of that region.

A number of my friends have a lot of scrap fabric from projects
and we brought all of it together to create quilts for Victims
Katrina.
Since the scraps were all shapes and sizes this Irregular
Grid seemed like the best use for them. It was easy and did
not take a lot of thinking.

Info re-design; I put Double Wedding Ring blocks into the
Special Effects No 3 layout and was amazed at the inticate
design that resulted. I used my favourite colours of red and
orange hues and tones in the gorgeous Kaffe Fasset range to
create a design that I love so much, I plan to make it for
myself! Please enlarge this design to get the full effect
of the lovely flow of fabric colours in each ring.

I placed Box-in-a-Box and Stripe Blocks into Special Effects
Variation 3, then played with the colours and ended up with
this design. I absolutely love to use vibrant colour mixes
and am currently working a lot with reds and oranges in various
hues and shades, so I am very pleased with the result of this
design.

Set with a Carrie Nation Quilt block in the center and EQ's
Stars & Beams Blocks in the corners colored so as to create
a secondary X pattern.
A simple Corners Block border surrounds the custom setting.

This is the same Special Effects 6 custom setting with different
blocks and a Tile on Point Corners border.
A Wyoming Valley block is set in the center, four others in
a slightly different coloring are set in the corners around
the center alternating with Girl's Favorite blocks. In the
outer corners of the custom setting Goose in the Pond blocks
are used.
Girl's Favorite & Goose in the Pond blocks are also used
in the border.
It is surprising how different the same setting can look!
