What Quilt Scares You?
Is there a quilt you would love to make but it puts your stomach in knots to
think about making it? What would this terrifying quilt be and what about it makes you tremble? Mine is the Dahlia. Its the picking of the fabrics that has me worried. In the book I have there are a couple of examples of color ways given. I hate all of them. But they do point out the importance of picking good contrast and coordinating patterns. This would be the best time to use a scanner to take the diagram of the quilt to be able to preview fabrics in it. Its on my to do list, right under long nap. Ok..spill... lets see if there are lots of people intimidated by the same quilts. Diana -- http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 |

Mine I think would be the double wedding ring.
I am so drawn to that pattern and would love to due one in red & purple our favorite colors. It just looks so intimidating. Diana in Dallas (no grandbaby its due in two days on the 29th.)

Double Wedding Ring is what scares me most too, but one I would love to do.
I did make one "practice" block, and it came out "OK," but it took quite a while! Paula "Diana In Dallas" wrote in message ... Mine I think would be the double wedding ring.

Lets hope the baby make a gentle entry into the world.
Will you make a DWR even though it is scary? Diana -- http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "Diana In Dallas" wrote in message ... Mine I think would be the double wedding ring.

Very intersting. And did you find that the arcs fit the curves without a
fight? Karen, Queen of Squishies -- My reply address is scrambled. Please change my address to hicall80 at earthlink dot net |
