This is a block from the AnglePlay CD, set in a simple 4 x 4 quilt with sashing.

Guildford, England

This design combines paper piecing and applique. The striped blocks are designed for using up scraps and were easy to draw. The grapevine comes from the EQ library.

Guildford, England

Original design.

Can be paper-pieced.

Pattern was continued into the border. I prefer to finish many quilts by continuing the pattern into the border so as not to end with half blocks.

Florida

Original design.

Can be paper-pieced.

I enjoy extending the pattern into the border of the quilt to finish the design. Design can also end just after the square in the border to allow for applique if one wants.

Brightly coloured beach huts are an essential part of the British coast. They go together with ice creams, sandcastles and the unreliable British weather to form part of our experience of summer by the seaside

England

I traced a clip art image for this challenge.

The braid block was drawn from Patti R. Anderson's website www.patchpieces.com. All blocks can be foundation pieced.

Northeastern Ontario

Played with auto border for the first time. All blocks can be foundation pieced, although I might use a Seminole piecing technique for the border. Centre of Pineapple block could be fussy cut.

Houston, TX

I drew a block that could be foundation pieced and then set it into a quilt and used the symmetry tool until I found a design I liked.

Ontario, Canada

This block is a variation on the pineapple block which I set into a star layout and added applique blocks.

I wanted to use bright colours and flowers in this quilt. I've used a quilt design from the library, blocks from EQ library changed into the colours, I like. The fabrics are from the default library. Easy and yet exciting to make.

Denmark

I've used the new fabric palette for January and the new kaleidoskope blocks. Thought it would be fun to play with one block and few colours.

Here she is Miss America!! Lots of "contestants" from New York here. I'm soooo afraid of curves. . . .maybe one day I'll enter the beauty contest.

Sparks, Nevada U.S.A.

I extended just 8 lines in each star so there would be no inset seam. I love feathered stars, but those inset seams didn't like me.

Notecard

I added the striped triangle to the Big Basket from the Foundation Blocks in the library.

I used a striped Auto Border from the EQ library.

Orange is my favorite color, so I probably witll make a smaller version of this.

Grand Ronde, OR

I used the symmetry key with New York Nighttime Block to make sombreros.
I used auto border feature for outside border. I liked the colors that came with the block in EQ library, so I used them in the border.

Cancun means warm weather and beautiful people to my husband and me, so I hope I'll make this quilt someday.

Grand Ronde, OR

The block used in this quilt is from the EQ6 foundation pieced block library, and the butterflies are from the applique motifs.

Foundation piecing. Table center using blocks adapted to show the growing season.

I used the Twisted Log Cabin without variation as I like the results.

Sometimes I draw patterns by request. Even though we don't have Bold Eagles in Germany I made this pattern for an US American friend . I thought you might like it too!

This project is my own design except the border blocks from the EQ library.

I like to spend vacation in the Netherlands and have been inspired to do the little quilt in spring 1999.
Thie little quilt, 30 x 37.5 cm without frame and binding, has been named originally "Blumenfeld, Holland" and has been designed by me in 1999, published in a german Patchwork Paper in 2000. It is part of my book "MINI-PATCH Quilts.

My new Homepage and shop

I used this whacky star block in several sizes in a folk art type quilt that included applique folk art angels in a couple of sizes - a custom set quilt. It's easy to move the lines around in these stars to make them look different. There are few seams to match since not all of the star points go to the edge of the block, but it does need to be done in three sections. However, the alternate twisting star block can be pieced in only two sections.
