August 2009 Challenge: Rotate and Fussy Cut! (Page 2)

Design a quilt to show off fabrics that you can rotate and fussy cut. Use add-on tools for the quilt worktable Design Toolbar to rotate the fabric by varying degrees and fussy cut to position fabric motifs in a special arrangement.

Rotating is the point of tesselating. Recoloring can change it all, too.

This quilt went together easily, design through completed top, once I had the 'right' fabrics for the recipient. Initially, I had purchased snowman fabric, only to discover that she didn't at all care for the blue and yellow combination. The most challenging part of the actual quilt was the easiest in eq - making sure the the striped fabric met exactly at the miters.

Although I loved this fabric, a design just wouldn't come. Then, I changed the recipient. Amazing. I am not looking at the actual quilt, I do believe that there were more snowmen options in the real fabric, with each of the four blocks havinfg a different center snowfellow. The large stars on both this design and in the actual blocks have a different building as a center point. The fussy cutting was much more difficult for the real quilt (with more wasted fabric than I care to remember) than it was for the virtual version.

Quilt designed by inches measurement.

Focal fabric used for center of block.
Sashing and first border is a striped fabric.
I attempted to fussy cut the stripes and rotated the focal fabric in block and border.

Using the star layout #29 and fabrics from the library

Fussy cutting and rotating blocks I was able to design a dresden plate quilt using the floral print. I can think of many more quilts utilizing this technique, but adding twists and turns and maybe using two colorways of the same fabric in alternating blades.

This was from the fussy cut & rotate lesson in the Kaleidoscope Collectors.

I just put the block in a quilt and used the fabrics from the block in the borders.
