border print
Do you remember the 'rosy posy' (was that it's name?) that Joan showed
us a little while ago? I think she did at least a couple? The basic pattern was a four-patch, but made up like Stack 'n' Whack. So you had these four-patches with each quarter of each cut out at exactly matching parts of the fabric' pattern. I just looked at the fabric, and I reckon it would be super for that pattern. I tried to find the actual name, and looked up Google groups. The best I could find was by searching on Joan 8904; but I couldn't pinpoint Joan's post with the link to a picture. Perhaps Joan is reading and can help? I have some pretty border prints and that's what I plan to do with mine. ..

Ooh, pretty! If you can't think of any pattern you like, just send it over.
Maybe a strippy? Make long rows of your current fave block, or a prairie braid out of scraps. Cut strips of roses and alternate with the pieced strips. Save a strip or 2 to make the border top and bottom. Roberta in D "KI Graham" schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:H9uzi.87295$rX4.63041@pd7urf2no...

I love these border prints.....I have lots of them.....I use the borders in the actual block, making the centers like a kaleidoscope, then use the narrow border as a sashing....I have also fussy cut Kaleidoscope wedges from the stripe with one of the narrow borders included....Check out www.jennybeyer.com for more ideas.

Hi Kim - Jinny Beyer border print placemats are another way to use
this type of print. http://pir8.freeservers.com/quilting...mats/index.htm This explains the technique but you could take it further if you wanted to cut the segments to make other finished shaped blocks to use in a quilt. jennellh On Aug 24, 1:38 am, "KI Graham" wrote: I bought 3 metres of this lovely on sale [not at this ebay auction...but this is the same fabric].

border print
I saw a quilting show on TV where they used border prints. What they did
was use 1/4 of a diamond and cut the shap out of the border strip, then flipped the strip and cut the identical piece out 4 times, then sewed them back together in the diamond shape. She eventually went on to make a tumbling block pattern out of all of her border print diamonds. They have the stack/wack type look to them when assembled. Anyhow it was a cool way to use a border print... I have my own print I bought just for this purpose lol. Thougfh I did make a test one out of some odd border I had hanging around, I am on my way to the beach right now, but I can post a pick of my test one later one so it all makes more sence lol carissa -- http://community.webshots.com/user/Elywyn Butterflies are not insects, they are self-propelled flowers.-Heinlein "KI Graham" wrote in message news:H9uzi.87295$rX4.63041@pd7urf2no...

There is a new book out, One Fabric Quilts, that is designs based on
using border print stripes. Might be something to think about. BG (I got notice of the release of the book yesterday or the day before from AQS.

Obviously, Kim, you must wrap it up quickly and mail it to me. Then I
can be the one troubling over what to do with such gorgeous fabric. Seriously, I have a friend who makes simple 16-square blocks and alternates them with full blocks and then puts a border such as your border fabric arounjd the whole thing. Gorgeous, simple and quick way to havea really lovely quilt, table cloth, you name it.

Ideas, everyone? http://cgi.ebay.com/Rich-RED-FLORAL-...ayphotohosting Grandmother's Fan Fussy cut Grandmother's Fan blades and use them as every other blade in each block. I think you could get several different looking blades by fussy cutting; some with the narrow stripe up the center, some with the big flowers only or a bit of narrow stripe on each side, some with the narrow stripe going across the blade. Example--For an 8 blade fan I would fussy cut 4 pieces exactly the same and alternate the print with 4 blades cut from a matching color. I could make several different fans by using different matching colored blades with the same fussy cut pattern. Then make other fans with a different looking fussy cut. For the pictured print you could use a couple of different greens, blue, black, gold, tan, and several rose shades as colors for your alternating blades. You would need to pick one of those colors for a background, and off-white would probably be the best choice for the "handle" arc in the corner. You could add lace trim at the edge of the fans if you want too. Debra in VA See my quilts at http://community.webshots.com/user/debplayshere |
