I'm doing a paper pieced version of the DWR, at the McCall's website.
Very,
very easy.

I did a crazy quilts in all neutral colors. I tried to find a picture of it
to post on my website, but can't find one. I guess I'll have to take
another. It was a lot of fun to do.

I'd like to do a crazy quilt in all whites and beiges. That one will
need careful attention to the least changes in value. I'm collecting
light light laces and velvets and ribbons.

Take courage, Larisa! All paper-piecing is not as intimidating as my
Starflake by a long shot. Try a couple pp Hug blocks first. It's not so
tough. You can do it!

OK, here's what we'll do. I'll mix the Margarootles, and you pull out all
the fabric. I'll dive in and start flinging stuff around, you have a drink.
Then, you play with what I pulled out, see if anything sparks, and I'll have
a drink. Then, we'll work together on the design wall, playing with the
ideas, and we'll both have a drink.

Wendy,
I have Margarita fabric. Come on up and we can start with that fabric. big

Now that's a liberating statement if I ever heard one! Where's my rotary
cutter? umm....... where is my cutting table?? ahhh........... I have a
couple things to do first. But then - it will be party time! I will post a
picture to prove that I'm actually starting, and we can dance all night. In
the moonlight of course. ; )

I'll bet you beans to navy dollars that if you took a picture of you
holding
up the fabric and one of you holding up the quilt, 100 % of the rctq'ers
will tell you the quilt is more gorgeous than the fabric!

Joy, I dream in color too. I was 45 years old before I found out that not
everyone does! LOL

LN/Ellen,
Gulp, you'll just need to bring the kids down for a visit and use the quilts
here. grin

Really? You are not just kidding? I am 56 years old and I just
found this out .... a minute ago!
I've always dreamed in color, but I've never considered how other
people dream.
I wonder if the percentage of people who dream in color is higher
among quilters and other artists, vis a vis the population at
large.
Hey, maybe I could get a NFA Grant to figure this out! Nah, I
don't have enough quilting time as it is!

Karen,

'Twas I !!
You can find the direction in most cases quite easily.

Inside points are a sticking point for me too. Was it Polly, or Pati, or
Patty who gave the tip recently of clipping to the inside point, not going
straight in as logic would tell us, but along the straight of the grain,
between two threads, so the inside point wont have a chance to ravel. Its
something worth trying.

| Hullo Lia
| I've recently done a landscape quilt with a soaring eagle taking pride
| of place (and a lot of space!!). This is how I did that one:
|
| I drew and made up the landscape first, completely. I sandwiched and
| quilted it.
|
| Having decided on the size of the eagle - cut out lots and tried them
on
| the landscape, I then made the eagle. Mine was pieced in realistic
| fabrics, colour placement from a white-tailed eagle photograph. I
then
| sandwiched and quilted it. Finally I appliquéd the eagle to the
| landscape in the position and angle that I had worked out earlier.
| People did say it looked very realistic.
|
| I have done another quilt in the similar technique - finishing the
| background and the appliqué before putting them together - and it does
| work and looks really three dimensional.
