7 isn't wrong at all! We need to see the block(s) you're using.
Roberta in D "Mini One" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... "Roberta Zollner" wrote in : How many fabrics/colors are there? 3 maybe? A light, a medium and a dark? Just for fun, make some sample blocks using each value in each possible location (e.g. a light-medium star or whatever against a dark background, dark-light with med background, etc.) See which ones you like best. You might even make the twin quilts using the same fabrics in different value organizations. You might enjoy alternating the same block with different backgrounds. Roberta in D 3? Uh... I have seven.... Is that wrong? But I have to say now that I'm starting to think about placement seriously, I'm beginning to think I've choosen the wrong colors..... |

Your sketch is very nice. I think your fabrics are great too!
Instead of throwing them out, you could just add a few pinks, reds, and blues to even it out and make it less fall looking. I see the fabrics this way. One focus - one dark - the brown calico, two mediums - the rust solid and rust plaid, and two lights the tans. You could easily add a light blue and pink, and a dark blue and red or maroon. You have great contrast built into your drawing. Maybe you could do dark where the dark is on your drawing on one quilt, and put the lights there on the other, so they would be reverse of each other. Then you could put the focus fabric in the large square areas of both quilts. They are going to be lovely!! And I like the grown up quality of the fabrics you have chosen for these quilts. Cool!

IMO swap out the dark calico for one with a navy background, and the dark
orange for a dark red in the same value. If you fussy cut the big flowers in the white piece for the centers of squares, that white will no longer be your lightest color, and it won't look so white. The creams you didn't post will probably be the lightest. If I were doing this, I'd probably make a bunch of the 12" star blocks, one at a time, using various combinations as long as I liked the result of each block all by itself. Then I'd start with the design wall, putting various stars together. Make a bunch of the pinwheels and square-in-square blocks. You might end up putting in more pinwheels than you have in the sketch. I think this will turn out to be a very pretty quilt -or 2 or 3! Roberta in D "Mini One" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... "Roberta Zollner" wrote in news:di3ruh$c9$1 @online.de: 7 isn't wrong at all! We need to see the block(s) you're using. Roberta in D Ok. Here is the sketch of the quilt. The biggest square is 12 inch. So each border square is four inch an the outside sashing is 2 inch thick. that should give you the over all meaure of about 36 inchs-ish by 40ish. I wrote it somewhere.... The fabrics are below. I wanted to use the white fabric as the focus. It's actually not white but a creamy non-bleached kind of color and then use lots of different tone beigy-creams which I haven't posted. Then the other fabrics pictured. But some how, now the focus fabric is just not matching with the other colors! I think the light in the store really made me go for orangy fall tones when the white fabric seems to now want cooler colors like pink and red & lilac.... ARGH! ( I really thought this was going to be easy! ;o) 'elp! http://www.geocities.com/aemilia_bed...?1128629166506 |

(in article ) : "frood" wrote in n I was thinking of doing different fabrics but in the it was too difficult for my little brain ;o) (and expensive). so, I'm going to use the same fabrics & with different placements. I can't get the quilt in EQ5 because the block sizes are different. You need to use custom set for that sort of quilt. You may not want to try and learn it now, but I'd recommend you learn it some time. Fran Gonzelezes teaches a class on layouts at Quilt University that I recommend and her EQ5 basics book (the pink one) covers custom set as well. Maureen |
